FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

U.S. 101 Airport Blvd. Interchange Project

Recommended Detour for Northbound U.S. 101 Airport Blvd. Off-Ramp

SONOMA COUNTY – Caltrans has issued the following traffic advisory for airport passengers and visitors attending the Wings over Wine Country Air Show at the Charles M. Schultz-Sonoma County Airport on August 17^th and 18^th, 2013.

Approximately 10,000 visitors are expected each day for the Wings over Wine County Air Show.  Since the U.S. 101 Airport Boulevard Interchange is an active construction project, and the northbound Airport Boulevard off-ramp is closed for construction, airport passengers and air show visitors should expect delays and allow additional time to reach their destination.

Detour: Due to expected high demand on the northbound Fulton Road off-ramp, motorists are advised to detour to the Shiloh Road off-ramp, turn left, cross over the freeway, merge right onto the on-ramp for southbound U.S. 101, and proceed to the southbound Airport Boulevard off-ramp. Southbound U.S. 101 travelers can proceed to the southbound Airport Boulevard off-ramp as usual.
