80 Solano
Ramp Metering Project
Caltrans started construction of the I-80 Solano Ramp Metering
Project in April 2012. Since then, crews have widened ramps, installed metering
lights, and begun connecting closed circuit TV cameras at approximately 60
sites along 25-miles of eastbound and westbound I-80 from Vallejo to
Vacaville.
Caltrans, MTC and STA worked with the communities along the
corridor to develop an operational plan for managing traffic on I-80. Metering lights on I-80 in Fairfield are
scheduled to be activated on February 18th. Metering lights in
Vallejo and Vacaville will be activated at a later date.
More information regarding the upcoming I-80 Solano Ramp
Metering Project will be coming soon to the Caltrans District 4 website at: http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist4/
