Lane and Ramp Closures for Paving

Contra Costa County – Lane and ramp closures resume for the Interstate 580 construction project just east of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.

·         Wednesday night, May 7, and Thursday night, May 8, Caltrans will close one eastbound lane and one westbound lane from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.

·         Friday night, May 9, Caltrans will close one eastbound lane and one westbound lane from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.

·         The eastbound I-580 on-ramp from Stenmark (formerly Western) Drive will be closed May 7 and 8 from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., and May 9 from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Detour: travel east on I-580 across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, exit at San Quentin, and return to eastbound I-580.

·         During these closures, motorists should expect travel delay and allow additional time to reach their destination.

This is an active construction site and the 45 MPH speed zone will be enforced by the California Highway Patrol. Drive cautiously through the construction zone and leave a safe traveling distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you and “Slow for the Cone Zone.”
