All lanes in one direction on I-80 in the Bay Area of California will be completely closed for four weekends in July and September.
Caltrans reports that 26 miles of interstate highway will be repaved in Costra County. The agency plans to perform major pavement rehabilitation work on the two center traffic lanes in both the eastbound and westbound directions of I-80.
The project area is just south of Vallejo between Hercules and Crockett. One traffic direction on the interstate will be worked on at a time.
The area from Highway 4 to the Cummings Skyway will be closed.
Closure schedule
All eastbound lanes will be closed during these times:
- From 9 p.m. on Friday, July 21, through 4 a.m. on Monday, July 24.
- From 9 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 4, through 4 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 7.
- From 9 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 18, through 4 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 21.
All westbound lanes will be closed on Labor Day weekend from 9 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 31, to 4 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 5.
Eastbound I-80 closure detour directions:
- From eastbound I-80 to state Route 4 in Hercules, exit onto eastbound SB-4.
- Continue on eastbound SR-4 to northbound I-680.
- Continue on northbound I-680 past Benicia.
- Re-enter eastbound I-80 in Fairfield.
When eastbound I-80 is closed, I-780 and Cummings Skyway are expected to remain open.
Westbound detour directions:
- From westbound I-80 at I-780 in Vallejo, exit onto eastbound I-780.
- Continue on eastbound I-780 past Benicia.
- Continue on southbound I-680 toward Concord.
- Exit onto westbound state Route 4 toward Richmond/Hercules.
- Re-enter westbound I-80 from state Route 4.
Caltrans expects to share additional details, detour information and specific times with the public when they are available.
The weekend closures will shorten the duration of the project by nine months, Caltrans estimates. LL
