The truck-climbing lanes are located less than a mile from the Valley Transportation Authority project at the Highways 152/156 interchange, according to a press release from Caltrans. The construction lasted almost a year and cost $11 million, and will increase the safety for travelers in that area, the state agency touts.

The Highway 152 corridor is a major east-west connection and a route of many travelers, trucks and residents as a connection to Interstate 5 and Highway 101.

The 152/156 Bypass Project is set to open this fall, according to the release. It will provide turn lanes and an overpass at the intersection that has caused congestion for years, according to Caltrans.
