Overnight I-80 Full Highway Closures During Midway Bridge Demolition
SOLANO COUNTY— The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has completed its retrofit work on the Interstate-80 (I-80) Meridian Road Bridge and is scheduled to reopen the Meridian Bridge at approximately 6:00 PM on Tuesday, August 15, 2017.
After reopening the Meridian Bridge, Caltrans will shift work to the I-80 Midway Road Bridge and start the long-term closure of the Midway Bridge on Wednesday, September 6, 2017.
Both bridges are located above eastbound and westbound I-80 in and near the cities of Vacaville and Dixon in rural Solano County.
Midway Bridge To Close For Demolition and Rebuild -Starting September 6, 2017
Caltrans will completely CLOSE the I-80 Midway Road Bridge starting the morning of September 6 in preparation of its demolition and rebuild. Caltrans will release a more specific closure time as soon as additional information is available. The Midway Bridge will remain CLOSED until the new Midway Bridge is completed as early as spring 2018.
Project Benefits
This project retrofits the existing Meridian Road Bridge and will demolish and rebuild the Midway Road Bridge. The work seismically retrofits these bridges and brings them up to the latest seismic safety standards.
Midway Road Bridge Closure-Detour Routes
Shortly after the Meridian Road Bridge is reopened, Midway Road Bridge across I-80 will be closed continuously until spring-summer 2018. During the construction of the new Midway Road Bridge, the Meridian Road Bridge above I-80 and just west of the Midway Road Bridge will remain OPEN and serve as a general detour.
I-80 Overnight Full Highway Closure-Overnight September 9, 2017
During the demolition of the Midway Road Bridge starting the night of September 9, 2017 until the morning of September 10, 2017, eastbound and westbound I-80 will be closed overnight at Midway Road. A short detour onto frontage roads near the bridge will be in effect. Caltrans will release more detailed times as soon as additional information is available.
All work is weather dependent.
Motorists should expect delays and watch for detours signs and flaggers. The CHP will assist with traffic controls.
Construction Zone Activity
Residents and businesses near the Midway Bridge may temporarily experience increased construction noise.
