several activities in September that are expected to impact traffic.
U.S. 101 Northbound Lane
Realignment at State Route 116

detour for northbound U.S. 101 traffic at State Route 116. Northbound traffic
currently moves to the southbound bridge and then returns to northbound U.S.

to prepare for a traffic shift to the new section of the Petaluma River Bridge
currently being constructed.

will be closed on Saturday night, September 6, from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m.,
while the contractor restripes the lanes.
