FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Interstate 280 Bridge Hinge Replacement Project

104-Hours (4 Days-8-Hours) Road Closure Begins in Seven Days

San Francisco – In seven days the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will close northbound Interstate 280 from the U.S. 101/I-280 interchange to downtown San Francisco. This closure is necessary to replace a bridge hinge on northbound I-280 between Cesar Chavez Street and 24^th Street. An additional closure is planned for the Labor Day Holiday weekend.

Detour: Northbound Interstate 280 traffic will detour to U.S. 101. When travelling during the closure it is strongly advised to call 511 or check with 511.org and to use public transportation such as BART, Caltrain, MUNI, and samTrans.

Full northbound closure Begins: 9 p.m. Wednesday evening, July 2

Full northbound closure Ends: 5 a.m., Monday morning, July 7.

Northbound on-ramp closures include:

• Alemany Boulevard on-ramp
• U.S. 101 connector to northbound Interstate 280
• Indiana Street/25^th Street on-ramp
• 18^th Street on-ramp

Southbound I-280 will remain open during the northbound closure.
