I almost went up there yesterday but thought better of it with Bottlerock going on.
Does it look like if they've paved the entry-way and connected the lot to Devlin?

As you can see below, the access lane is being built. They have one concrete entrance done, working on the south entrance and curbing. There is paving yet from the curb/gutter and entrances, to the pump area, which is not a whole lot: they've done a lot more in one day, at times. They have cut back the frontage of Allied Propane and the next business to the north to make the turn lane.
Getting the City/County/CalTrans or whomever to do the road work might take time, or they could finish the whole thing in a few days if the scheduling is right. The next few days here will be hot and dry. It is all but done, it seems.

I drove by today. They're paving! The space between the road and the existing pavement is being filled. The whole place is very active with lots of white contractor trucks scattered about. No merchandise in the store yet.

Wow finally some good progress! This has to be the longest time any supercharger has taken to come online...

Drove by again yesterday and the asphalt to connect to Devlin is still not done, but it looks close. They're adding sidewalks and redoing the driveways on the adjoining properties, which had their asphalt/driveways dug up. I'm sure it's affecting them negatively.

Another boring update: Nearly done.
Owner says JULY 15. He thinks he can get Tesla to hook up before then (turn on power switch is all, I think) and if the county will let him, he will open the chargers. With all of us hanging around, he will try.
Paving first level is done. There is a final layer of another inch or two for the turn lanes and the gas station, but the owner says it will go fast. A lot depends on how fast the county will give permission, but the paving should be done this week, I would guess.

Yes, Thanks Rob for the update and photos. I drive by the place every few days and it's almost killing me that we're so close to being open.
That's awesome you were able to pull in like that. Did anyone come over for a chat?

Any updates?
Man, this has been a painful one to track - but not nearly as painful as Fremont 2!

Actually, that's how I got to talk to the owner. I was in a hard hat area, without my hat. Bad Tesla! Bad!

Drove by today (Friday) - street has been paved... traffic cones blocked access so couldn't turn in or pull over to take pics.
Yeah I whizzed by yesterday on my way back from rock climbing at Mt St Helena and snapped a quick one off 29:
