Tam Overcrossing project delayed; funding to be returned to state pending reprogramming

Town Manager Adam Wolf told the council on Sept. 2 that the Tamalpais Overcrossing project has encountered a timing conflict between utility (PG&E) design and Caltrans design work. Wolf said the misalignment requires the town to return the current funding allocation to the California Transportation Commission so the funds can be reprogrammed in the next funding round.

Wolf said he is working with the Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM), Caltrans and legislative partners to resecure the funding and that the earliest realistic construction start is now 2027. He said the town will press partners to reprogram the funds and noted broad regional and legislative support for the project, but said the scheduling mismatch requires the adjustment.

Council members asked for follow‑up and Wolf said he will coordinate with TAM and other partners and return with a timeline and next steps.

The update did not include formal council action but alerts residents and stakeholders that a previously anticipated schedule has slipped and that staff will pursue reprogramming options.
