I’m on a highway to…Kings Canyon
The sign on HWY 180 says completion of the extension east will be in 2011—this used to say 2012, which seemed likely when the project was put on hold during last summer’s budget debates. But today I noticed that the section immediately easy of Clovis Avenue has been striped, and the exit signs are installed.
Further east, the merge onto the old highway is completed, and can be driven on (it’s required, actually, if you want to travel past Temperance Ave.). So, what are they going to do over the next two years?

I wonder that exact thing every time I drive over to my brothers place on Armstrong/Kings Canyon. My brother figures that they will open up to Fowler and maybe Temperance once they get the traffic lights/signals all completed around the surrounding intersections. 2011 might be the completion date of the entire extension they are working on currently? One would hope they would open the complete sections before the entire thing is ready in 2 years…
Luke, you make a good point about the surrounding infrastructure – though much of that has progressed recently, as well. My hope is that the Clovis to Fowler extension is completed soon; that will cut out a few minutes of my daily route, as the Clovis exit gets a bit crowded during peak traffic.
