FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Interstate-80/Interstate-680/Highway 12 Interchange Project-Fairfield
Overnight
Restriping Work and Lane Switch On Westbound I-80
Wednesday,
July 16
SOLANO COUNTY – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will restripe the traffic
lanes of westbound I-80 near the I-80/I-680/Highway 12 Interchange as part of
the I-80/I-680/Highway 12 Interchange Project in Fairfield.
The work will require
various overnight lane closures. One lane of westbound I-80 will remain open at
all times. Motorists should expect delays, allow extra travel, and watch for
crews at work.
Westbound I-80 between I-680 and
Highway 12 Interchange (restriping lanes):
Crews will
restripe the traffic lanes of westbound I-80 between the westbound I-80
connector ramp to southbound I-680 and the westbound I-80 connector ramp to
westbound Highway 12. The work is scheduled to start Wednesday, July 16 at 7
p.m. and be completed at 5 a.m. on Thursday, July 17.
The work will
reconfigure the traffic lanes on westbound I-80, motorists should watch for the
reconfigured traffic lanes during the morning commute on July 17.
I-80/I-680/Highway-12 Project Improvements:
The work is in
preparation of the first construction package of the I-80/I-680/Highway-12
Interchange project. During
this first phase, a new Green Valley Road overcrossing will be constructed
above I-80 about 200 feet east of the existing overcrossing. The new
overcrossing will have twice the number of lanes (4) as the existing
overcrossing (2), along with a new on ramp to westbound I-80/Highway-12. The
connector ramp from westbound I-80 to Highway-12 also will be widened from one
lane to two lanes.
Caltrans appreciates your patience as we work to improve California’s
highways.
