Drivers can always count on traffic during Labor Day weekend. It’s about to get even more congested in Vallejo due to work by Caltrans.
Caltrans has scheduled a 104-hour full highway closure of westbound I-80 on Labor Day weekend starting Thursday, at 9 p.m. and concluding at 5 a.m. on Tuesday. West bound I-80 will be closed and traffic detoured beginning at the West bound I-80/I-780 interchange in Vallejo.
The closure includes the closures of all westbound traffic lanes on WB I-80 on the Zampa Bridge across the Carquinez Strait. Eastbound I-80 traffic lanes will remain open.
For motorists traveling westbound on I-80 at I-780 (Curtola Pkwy) will need to exit onto eastbound I-780 in Vallejo and continue eastbound I-780 to southbound I-680.
Motorists can then use southbound I-680 to reach westbound state route 4, westbound state route 24 or westbound I-580 to access central and south Bay Area destinations.
Caltrans has also scheduled nightly lane closures at various times during the weekend of August 31 toperform work on the I-80/SR-29 Bridge Separation Project in Vallejo.
Motorists traveling on westbound I-80 just east of the Carquinez Bridge Toll Plaza should drive with caution as traffic will be reduced down to one lane on westbound I-80 before the bridge. These nightly lane reductions will be in place on westbound I-80 from Magazine Street in Vallejo to the Carquinez Toll Plaza.
The lane closures are needed to allow crews to perform additional work on the elevated section of westbound I-80 in Vallejo just east of the Carquinez Bridge.
