FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

U.S. 101 / State Route 116 Construction in Petaluma

Caltrans to Close Eastbound State Route 116 for Two Days

Petaluma, Sonoma County – Caltrans is planning to begin pile-driving in the median of State Route 116 at the U.S. 101 interchange and has scheduled a full-closure of eastbound SR 116 beginning Saturday morning, June 8, at 6 a.m. and continuing until 1 a.m. Monday morning, June 10. Detour: During this closure, traffic should detour to Caulfield Lane and S. McDowell Boulevard and then return to SR 116/Lakeville Highway.

Eastbound State Route 116 will remain closed during this time due to staging of equipment. Residents and businesses near the interchange may notice increased noise. However, pile-driving will only occur between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. No pile-driving will take place between 11 p.m. Saturday night and 7 a.m. Sunday morning.

Note: If work is not completed June 8 – 10, it will resume the following weekend, June 15 – 17, at the same hours. Please drive cautiously through the construction zone and leave a safe traveling distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.  “Slow for the Cone Zone.”
