SR 25

Widening and realigning the one road out of the county

Every County Express intercounty trip and most of the county's commute traffic use State Route 25 between Hollister and Gilroy. The improvement project widens and realigns that stretch of highway and adds a proposed frontage road, following the range of alternatives SBCOG published for public review.
