Fresno County road known as ‘Bloody Alley’ gets state priority

A Fresno County road known as “Bloody Alley” has been listed as a state priority, putting the location on the state’s list for attention.

The listing concerns one of the county’s deadliest roads. The nickname “Bloody Alley” is used to describe the road’s history of deadly crashes.

What the priority means

A state-priority listing identifies the road for attention through a state process. The listing itself does not establish a construction date, a project budget or the specific safety changes that may be considered.

What comes next

The next steps will depend on the state process tied to the listing. Key details include which agency will oversee the work, whether a project will be formally approved and when any safety improvements could begin.

The priority designation marks a development for the road, but it does not by itself announce that construction has started or that a particular improvement has been completed.
