The Hale Avenue Extension Project is a significant and long-planned transportation improvement for the City of Morgan Hill. Dunne Avenue has been closed since mid-August in order to construct the intersection improvements, including the roundabout, curb/gutters, medians, sidewalks, street light foundations and pavement. This portion of Dunne Avenue will reopen on Wednesday, September 28, 2022 by 11am.

Beginning on Wednesday, September 28, 2022 at 12noon, Dewitt Avenue between Buck Hill Court and Spring Avenue will be closed in order to complete improvements in this area. Traffic may detour around the closure by using Spring Avenue, Monterey Road and West Dunne Avenue.

Residents and businesses in the impacted area will receive a notice from the contractor prior to work beginning in the area. Any parking restrictions will be posted on the affected streets a minimum of 72 hours prior to the operation. For your safety, please travel through work zones/detours carefully or utilize alternative routes and plan for extra travel time when traveling through the work zones. The City appreciates your cooperation and apologizes for any inconveniences while construction is underway as there will be some construction noise, minor inconveniences, and traffic delays.

About the Hale Avenue Extension Project

The Hale Avenue Extension project is a significant and long planned transportation improvement for the City of Morgan Hill. The completed project will provide a continuous north/south route on the west side of the City which will help to reduce cut through traffic in the local neighborhoods. It will also have the benefit of reducing energy consumption by providing an efficient and continuous roadway network within the City of Morgan Hill. In addition to the roadway the project includes an off street paved bike and pedestrian trail the length of the project. The limits of the Hale Avenue Extension project are West Main Avenue at the north end and Spring Avenue at the south end. This project is broken into two phases. The first phase (Awarded to DeSilva Gates) will construct Hale Avenue between the Spring/Dewitt intersection to Warren Avenue.
