FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Interstate 580 Scofield Avenue and Western Drive
Bridge Decks Replacement Project
Eastbound Lane and Ramp Closures Continue
Contra Costa County –
Eastbound lane and ramp closures continue for the Interstate 580 construction
project east of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.
·
Tonight, Friday, October 4th, Caltrans
will close one eastbound lane from 8
p.m. to 8 a.m.
·
The eastbound
on-ramp from Western Drive to Interstate 580 will also be closed from 8
p.m. to 5 a.m.
Eastbound traffic is in a split traffic configuration: one left lane, one right lane, and
construction taking place in an island between the lanes. Due to this lane
configuration, during construction, the left eastbound lane and Western Drive
on-ramp will be closed to allow for staging of equipment. Those closures are essential for the safety of
construction workers and the travelling public.
Beginning Sunday night, October 6th, one eastbound
lane will be closed according to the following schedule:
·
Sunday night, 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
·
Monday through Thursday night, 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
In addition, the eastbound on-ramp from Western Drive will be
closed Sunday night through Thursday night, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. These
closures are expected to continue through October.
Caltrans has observed that during the day, some drivers are
confused about the eastbound lane configuration. Please be aware that when both
lanes are open, either lane will take motorists through the construction zone.
They will remain on eastbound I-580.
This is an active construction site and the 45 MPH speed zone
will be enforced by the California Highway Patrol. Drive cautiously through the
construction zone and leave a safe traveling distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead of you. Please
remember to “Slow for the Cone Zone.”
