SOLANO COUNTY – Caltrans and the City of Vallejo join forces in a major landscaping and litter abatement effort on westbound Highway 37 from the Fairgrounds Drive exit to the Highway 37/Highway 29 interchange. 

The three-day major maintenance effort starts Tuesday, October 8^th and concludes on Thursday, October 10^th.  Work starts each day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, at 9:30 a.m. and concludes at 3 p.m. Work is weather permitting.  

Crews from both Caltrans and the City of Vallejo will trim-back overgrown trees, clear storm drains, weed, mow and clear-out trash and debris along Highway 37 and adjacent onramps.

This is the fifth phase of a key partnership among Caltrans, the City, and several area agencies to beautify main entrances and thoroughfares in Vallejo through the “Vallejo Interagency Partnership” (VIP) program.

The following detour will be in effect from 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. each day: Motorists entering westbound 37 from Fairgrounds Drive should continue on southbound Fairgrounds Drive, then eastbound on Redwood Street (proceeding across the I-80 overcrossing), then northbound on Admiral Callahan Lane, then enter eastbound I-80, then exit westbound Highway 37.
