During Bridge Work

SOLANO COUNTY— The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is continuing construction of the new Midway Road Bridge above eastbound and westbound Interstate-80
(I-80). The bridge is located in rural Solano County just east of Downtown Vacaville.

Starting Tuesday, November 7, 2017, Caltrans and its contractor are scheduled to start installation of bridge falsework.

Motorists will have a short detour onto adjacent auxiliary lanes and back onto eastbound I-80.

A full highway closure will be in effect on westbound I-80 at Midway Road starting Wednesday, November 8 at 11:00 PM until Thursday, November 9 at 4:00 AM. Motorists will be taken off I-80 at Midway Road, then southbound on North Meridian Street, then re-enter westbound I-80 from North Meridian.

Midway Bridge Long-Term Closure
The Midway Bridge will remain CLOSED until the new Midway Bridge is completed as early as spring 2018. Local detours remain in effect.
