- Concrete pavement work expected to begin on the new lanes in mid-December.
- Continuation of the installation of steel rebar for the new Eastbound lanes.

Reminder: San Juan Hollister Road remains closed to through traffic between Union Road and 4th Street / Highway 156 Business Route for this stage of construction.

About the Project
The San Benito Route 156 Improvement Project will construct a four-lane expressway immediately south of the existing Hwy. 156 alignment. This 5.2-mile project will begin in San Juan Bautista at The Alameda and continue to just east of Hwy. 156 Business Route (4th St.) in Hollister.
During construction, access will be closed from Hwy. 156 to Mission Vineyard Rd. in San Juan Bautista. Also, travelers will not be able to access San Juan Hollister Rd. from Union Rd.
