$82M Highway 99 interchange project aims to reshape key Tulare County corridor

The State Route 99/Caldwell Avenue Interchange Project is expected to accommodate current and future transportation needs in Tulare County, improve regional connectivity and make travel safer and more efficient. The project is part of a broader plan to improve transportation and support business development and freight movement along the Avenue 280 corridor, which includes Caldwell Avenue and Visalia Road and stretches from Highway 99 east to Exeter.
