Weather Too Cold to Pave
SOLANO COUNTY – The California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) is now scheduled to pave the westbound Interstate 80
onramp from Alamo Drive in Vacaville on Thursday, December 12th instead
of Tuesday, December 10th and Wednesday, December 11th.
The work originally
scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday has been postponed due to the cold
temperatures. Crews need temperatures to be above 50 degrees to pave.
The work is
part of the Interstate 80 (I-80) Solano Ramp Metering Project on eastbound and
westbound I-80 between Vallejo and Vacaville. The work at Alamo Drive and
westbound I-80 will complete the widening of that onramp from one to two lanes.

worker and public safety, the following detours will be in effect on Thursday,
December 12th starting at 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. All work is weather
permitting. Motorists should allow for extra travel time. Detour signs will be
posted:

westbound I-80 from southbound Alamo Drive will be directed to continue southbound

I-80 Solano Ramp Metering Project
Since April,
crews have widened ramps, installed ramp meters, and installed closed circuit
TV cameras at approximately 60 sites along 25-miles of I-80 from Vallejo to
Vacaville. The $12.8 million project is scheduled to be completed in spring 2014.
Caltrans and several agencies including the Solano Transportation Agency (STA)
are still determining when to activate ramp meters in Solano County.
Caltrans
appreciates your patience as we work to improve our highways.
