Manteca’s proposed expressway could end up being a major truck route.

The future alignment of McKinley Avenue between a proposed interchange with the Highway 120 Bypass to the thoroughfare’s proposed interchange with Highway 99 about a mile south of the Austin Road interchange is being envisioned as a truck route to accommodate the longest trucks allowed under federal law at 73 feet.

McKinley Avenue would ultimately curve north when it crosses Highway 99 to connect with Graves Road. That segment of McKinley also will be a truck route along with Austin Road from East Highway 120 to the future McKinley intersection as well as from Austin Road to a point on Graves where McKinley will T-intersect in the future.

Airport Way, Lathrop Road west of Highway 99, Roth Road, Spreckels Avenue, Yosemite Avenue between Highway 99 and Spreckels Avenue, Industrial Park Drive, as well as Yosemite Avenue and Louise Avenue west of Airport Way are already designated truck routes.

Truck routes are part of the city’s traffic circulation plan that the Manteca Planning Commission will consider during Tuesday’s 7 p.m. meeting at the Civic Center, 1001 W. Center St.
