VACAVILLE - Construction on the widening of Davis Street between Bella Vista Road and the Interstate 80 undercrossing, designed to improve traffic circulation in the area, is expected to begin July 18.

Along with the road widening, the project includes construction of a new driveway to the Bella Vista Park and Ride Lot from the intersection of Davis Street and Hume Way; two left-turn lanes from southbound Davis Street onto eastbound Hume Way; and a separate right turn lane for northbound Davis Street traffic onto eastbound Hume Way.

Traffic signals at the intersections of Davis Street/Hume Way and Davis Street/Bella Vista Road/I-80 On-Off ramps will be modified to accommodate the new road layout.

Construction is expected to take approximately three months.

During construction, no detours are expected to be in place or needed. Initial work will involve widening the west side of Davis Street.
