SOLANO COUNTY – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will begin pouring concrete to form the bridge deck of the new Laurel Street Bridge which will require a 4-day closure of an additional block of Laurel Street just north of the bridge.

The old Laurel Street Bridge was demolished in June 2017 and is currently being rebuilt above westbound and eastbound I-780 in Vallejo.
The new Laurel Street Bridge will be constructed to bring the bridge up to the latest seismic safety standards. Construction of the new bridge will be completed as early as November 2017.
