GUSTINE, CA – The City of Gustine celebrated the completion of the roundabout at the intersection of Highway 140 and Highway 33 at a ribbon cutting event today held in conjunction with Caltrans and the Merced County Association of Governments.
The project consists of a single lane roundabout on State Route 140/33 at the intersection of Fourth Street and Sixth Avenue on SR-33/140. Changes to the intersection also include the realignment of Railroad Avenue, the rehabilitation of underground city utilities within the project limits, and the construction of a woonerf between Ash Ave. and Railroad Ave. A woonerf is a Dutch term for a common space created to be shared by pedestrians, bicyclists, and low speed motor vehicles.
“This project completion is due to the fantastic collaboration of many entities, including Caltrans, Merced County, Merced County Association of Government, our City Engineering Firm, Gouveia Engineering, and many of our city officials and staff,” said Mayor Pat Nagy. “At the state and national level, we received help and guidance from our congressional representatives. Everyone involved has labored long and arduously on this project. And I want to thank and praise everyone for sticking with it and seeing it through the long process to today’s final completion.”…
