The Riverbank City Council received an update on progress of construction on the North County Corridor’s Phase 1 project at its Tuesday, May 13 meeting.
A spokesman for the company doing the work showed maps and charts on how the work is planned, and explained how some of it would most impact Riverbank residents.
He noted that Oakdale Road would be widened from Claribel Avenue southward to where a new section would be built going east. His map showed the new section that will be an overpass and interchange at Roselle Avenue, extending eastward, going over Terminal Avenue and the BNSF railroad tracks.
He said the dirt where orchards are now, along the route, will be used to build the overpass, with the basins left behind used as rain runoff storage.
The big impact from this part of the work, he said, would be the up to one year that Roselle would be completely closed to traffic.
The chart included in the presentation shows that Phase 1 is expected to continue into the middle of 2028.
