Caltrans has proposed a $500 million project to widen a wine country highway that the agency said could be underwater in 25 years. Members of the California Transportation Commission will decide at a public meeting beginning Thursday whether to award Caltrans and local agencies a $73 million grant that would cover some of the cost to widen Highway 37 — a roadway linking Vallejo to Sears Point across the Napa Sonoma Marsh, much of which is only one lane in each direction.

Caltrans expects to finish its “Fix 50” project by July 2026 — a year later than originally planned and almost $100 million over budget. Roadwork began in 2021. The new timeline, first reported by KCRA, drags the construction out to a total of five years. The project will add new carpool lanes along 7 miles of Highway 50 across Sacramento’s core and resurface the degraded pavement.
