The Centennial Corridor Project constructs a new Centennial Alignment Aerial alignment and provides route continuity for State Route 58 from Cottonwood Road on existing State Route 58 (East) to Interstate 5. All phases are currently under construction.

Centennial Corridor Phase 1 - Kern River Bridge Improvements

This phase constructed new bridges across Truxtun Avenue and the Kern River for the future westbound exit to Mohawk Street and widened the existing eastbound bridges at the Kern River and Truxtun Avenue to accommodate the future Centennial Corridor (State Route 58) mainline. Construction is complete.

Centennial Corridor Phase 2 - Belle Terrace Operational Improvements

This phase demolished the existing Belle Terrace Overcrossing and replaces it with a structure that meets Caltrans' current vertical clearance requirements. This phase also improves northbound State Route 99 to eastbound State Route 58 traffic flow by reconstructing and widening the freeway connector structure. The new freeway connector bridge opened to traffic in November 2019. Wible Road and Alamo Court were realigned with the project. A retaining wall was built along the outside shoulder of northbound State Route 99. Construction of the Belle Terrace Bridge is underway and is expected to open to traffic in fall 2020.

Centennial Corridor Phase 3 - Bakersfield Freeway Connector

This phase reconstructs the westbound to southbound connector ramp at the State Route 58/State Route 99 interchange. The project also moves the southbound State Route 99 entrance to the Ming Avenue off-ramp and constructs a barrier-separated connector ramp to Ming Avenue. Construction is underway on the westbound State Route 58 bridge widening, the new Ming Avenue off-ramp, and the westbound-to-southbound connector ramp. Work is also underway on various drainage systems, the Elcia retention basin, and the new Belle Terrace Pump Plant.

Centennial Corridor Phase 4 - Mainline

This phase constructs the freeway between State Route 99 and the Westside Parkway. Bridge structures are under construction at State Route 99, Real Road, Stockdale Highway, Ford Avenue, La Mirada Drive, California Avenue and Commerce Drive. La Mirada Drive is closed at the alignment for bridge construction. Stine Road access to and from Stockdale Highway is closed on the south side of Stockdale Highway.

State Route 43 (Enos Lane) & Stockdale Highway Roundabout
This project replaces an existing 4-way stop with a roundabout at the State Route 43 (Enos Lane) and Stockdale Highway intersection. The project is substantially complete.

Voluntary Emission Reduction Agreement

Caltrans and the City of Bakersfield have implemented a Voluntary Emission Reduction Agreement with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District to provide mitigation measures that benefit residents living adjacent to the future Centennial Corridor Project. Residents and property owners may qualify for rebates to replace wood-burning stoves and open-hearth fireplaces with cleaner alternatives. Visit the Valley Air website for information and guidelines on how to participate in the Burn Cleaner program.
