Highway 12 Improvements Launched

MAJOR TRAFFIC SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS COMING SOON

SUISUN CITY - The stretch of Highway 12 from Suisun City to Rio Vista is going to get a lot safer this spring and summer with major roadway improvements designed.

Caltrans, California Highway Patrol, state legislators and Solano Transportation Authority representatives were among those who gathered at the Western Railway Museum here this week to celebrate the ground breaking for the next wave of highway improvments.

Safety enhancements workers will soon begin to install east of Suisun City include:

• wider shoulders
• additional centerline channelizers to help separate conflicting traffic
• new rumble strips, which alert drivers when they drift out of their lane
• enhanced pavement and more.

For more information, visit the Highway 12 link at Suisun City's homepage at www.suisun.com or visit Caltrans' project site, including a diagram of the scheduled work.
