Stockton port to spend $1.2 million for Rough and Ready access road
Port of Stockton directors Monday approved a $1.2 million construction project to improve traffic circulation on Rough and Ready Island, a 1,500-acre former Navy base adjacent to the port and under conversion for maritime and commercial use.
The project will connect the current island access road to the primary east-west artery on the island and construct a rail connection to the mainland.
An additional access bridge and highway to Rough and Ready is already in the final stages of completion and scheduled to open this summer as the new main entrance to the island.
Top Construction was awarded the road construction on the new project, while railroad operator Central California Traction Co. will install a rail crossing.
