FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SOUTHBOUND I-880 LANE CLOSURE NEAR I-980 CONNECTOR 

WILL CLOSE DURING FWY MEDIAN PAVING THIS WEEKEND 

ALAMEDA COUNTY – Caltrans will temporarily close the southbound #1 lane along Interstate 880 (I-880), between the I-980 connector to 16th Avenue, to facilitate freeway median resurfacing this weekend. The closures will take place Friday, February 15 and Saturday, February 16, 2013, between the hours of 9 p.m. and 10 a.m. each day.

Construction crews are expected to complete construction activity each morning by 10 a.m. The entire project should be completed by Sunday morning (February 17).

The lane closure is necessary to allow maintenance crews to safely stage construction equipment and vehicles, while allowing personnel to complete their work safely and with minimal impact to freeway travelers. However, please anticipate some delay during the construction period.

Motorists are strongly urged to drive cautiously through this construction zone and to always leave a safe traveling distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.  Caltrans appreciates your patience as we work to improve the highways.  Please remember to “Slow for the Cone Zone.”
