FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Opening of Isleton Bridge re-scheduled

Sacramento and Yolo - The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is alerting motorists that the re-opening of the Isleton Bridge for vehicular traffic on State Highway 160 north of Isleton and south of Courtland has been re-scheduled. The re-opening of this bridge was scheduled for  Friday, August  24 and has been changed to Saturday, August  25.

This work is part of an $8.4 million project to repaint three Sacramento Delta bridges. The Steamboat Slough Bridge south of Courtland was re-opened last fall on November 15 while the Paintersville Bridge also south of Courtland was re-opened on May 4.

Detour signs are in place. North or southbound motorists travelling on State Highway 160 are advised to plan ahead and factor in additional travel times. Unexpected weather may prolong or cause work to be rescheduled. Caltrans urges motorists to "Slow for the Cone Zone" and “Move Over” if possible. It’s the law.
