Tulare’s Cartmill Interchange Could Break Ground September 1

Tulare City Engineer Mike Whitlock says right of way acquisition is nearly done  and construction of  the $35 million Cartmill interchange on the north end of town is expected to break ground September 1. “We are days away from Right of Way certification by CalTrans that will move the project to construction.”
“We believe with the help of TCAG and CalTrans we will be approved for $7 million that will fill the shortfall on the project” says Whitlock. The funding would be approved May 1 at the California Transportation Commission meeting with monies from a Hwy 99 surplus fund based on savings on past 99 projects. Construction would be 12 to 18 months. The new interchange is expected to draw major new commercial development  to the area including a new shopping center.

The bridge/crossing infrastructure projects add up to some $60 million already approved and either under construction or poised to be in town.Besides the Cartmill project, the community will soon see the Bardsley rail crossing and Santa Fe pedestrian bridge under construction.
