Good question. I believe MTC and Caltrans may have to apply for another state or federal competitive grant for that funding, so they should release an updated funding plan

There are still a few outstanding environmental impacts under review, and it's not fully funded yet as far as I know (bc it requires such an insane sum of $$ to build).
Not a done deal yet.

Worth noting that SR 37 is the commute route for about 20k people daily. In a region of 7M is that the best use of $500m to save a few mins for a few years before congestion returns? While transit systems that carry many more may cut service...

And this... "Caltrans, hell-bent on highway construction, is a lost cause. It’s going to take leadership by a governor and a legislature to start investing in transit that can attract commuters and truly reduce congestion."
Hella construction on Sacramento’s Hwy. 50 promises little long-term relief | Opinion
In California, where driving is as second-nature as breathing and many commute by car to work, construction projects like “Fix50” do more harm than good.

Yep, it's exhausting. I've heard every justification for why 'this project' is special and unique - for the hundreds of widening projects still marching forward.
