BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Caltrans said Alternative B is its preferred choice for the Centennial Corridor Project, officials announced on Thursday.
Officials said they prefer this plan because the other build alternatives under consideration would directly affect local parks or historic properties.
Alternative B would provide route continuity and congestion relief along State Route 58 from Cottonwood Road to Interstate 5.
This plan would extend State Route 58 in a westerly direction from State Route 99 for about one-half mile along the south side of Stockdale Highway, before turning northwest and connecting to the Westside Parkway just east of Mohawk Street.
To provide the public with additional information on this decision, Caltrans has scheduled a public Information Meeting for Thursday, Dec. 6 at the Kern County Administrative Offices, Building Rotunda, 1115 Truxtun Avenue, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The meeting will be an open-house format, so attendees can come and go at any time.
