Mohawk Extension North set to open
BAKERSFIELD,CA - Mohawk Extension North is set to officially open to motorists Tuesday morning.
The extension includes a new roadway from Rosedale Highway to Siena Lane and an arched culvert crossing at the Calloway canal. "We go over to Mohawk a lot off of Rosedale so this will help as far as that because Fruitvale backs up and traffic gets bad," said Mitch O'Connor. It's a project two years in the making. "Those residents living in the project vicinity that live adjacent to there, north of Hageman, south of Hageman. We're thinking all the way out to Calloway, people are going to see the benefits of this Mohawk Street," said civil engineer Daniel Padilla. Officials say the $3.1 million project, funded by the California Transportation Commission and the City of Bakersfield, will ease traffic in northwest Bakersfield. "We're thinking it will help even a little bit on 99 as some people would take Golden State to downtown. I think this will be another option to get downtown," said Padilla. But area residents also have concerns about more traffic near San Lauren Park. "The frisbee golf that everybody plays and the kids and the traffic is going to back up probably at that three way stop," said O'Connor. The public is invited to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony. It's scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Calloway Canal Culvert Crossing. Categories: Bakersfield News and Surrounding Areas
