NVTA is advancing safety and congestion relief improvements at the SR 29/SR 12/Airport Boulevard and SR 12/North Kelly Road intersections in southern Napa County, also known as the Jameson Canyon interchange. Building on prior planning efforts and an existing 2008 environmental document that selected a tight diamond interchange concept, NVTA is conducting a performance-based alternatives analysis and environmental review in partnership with Caltrans District 4.

The study will explore up to three viable interchange alternatives, including both conventional and innovative designs such as a grade-separated “dogbone” roundabout, while considering multimodal access, context sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, and future growth. The goal of NVTA’s current work efforts is to refine the project footprint and update the environmental clearance to support selection of a preferred alternative and prepare for future design and construction phases.

Location: Southern Napa County, at SR 29 / SR 12 / Airport Blvd and SR 12 / N. Kelly Road

Timeline:

  • 2024–2027: Environmental Revalidation

  • 2027–2028: Design

  • 2028–2029: Right-of-Way

  • 2030: Construction (pending funding)
