Westside Parkway

Westside Parkway is a planned freeway in Bakersfield, California designed to connect western Bakersfield to downtown. It was originally planned to link Highway 99 and Interstate 5, but the western terminus is now planned to be about 8.5 miles east of I-5. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2008 or 2009. [http://www.bakersfield.com/failingroadsmap] . Completion is scheduled for 2012 or 2013.

The highway was first proposed in 1980. The current design has it running from the intersection of Stockdale Highway and Heath Road to a point on Truxtun Avenue near Oak Street. Traffic models show the parkway carrying 37,000 vehicles a day in 2013. [http://www.bakersfield.com/102/story/103125.html Westside Parkway hits funding roadblock]
