SOLANO COUNTY – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and its project partner the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) are continuing work to remove the old Green Valley Road overcrossing above eastbound and westbound Interstate-80 (I-80) in Fairfield as part of the I-80/I-680/SR-12 Interchange Project.

The old overcrossing was recently replaced by the new Green Valley Road/I-80 overcrossing. Demolition of the old overcrossing continues with full overnight highway closures on westbound I-80 starting Wednesday, June 20 with some ramp and connector closures starting June 13.

Eastbound I-80 and SB I-680 Ramp Closures- June 13, 14 and 15.
To ensure worker and public safety during the demolition, the eastbound I-80 onramp from Green Valley Road and the southbound I-680 connector from eastbound I-80 will be closed Monday, June 13, Tuesday, June 14 and Wednesday, June 15 starting each night at 10:00 PM until 4:00 AM the following mornings. Motorists should follow the detour signs.

Overnight closures on westbound I-80 are scheduled starting Monday, June 20 until Friday, June 24 starting at 11:00 PM each night until 5:00 AM the following mornings. Motorists will be detoured from westbound I-80 to the Suisun Valley Road exit, then westbound on Neitzel Road, then westbound on Business Center Drive, then southbound on Green Valley Road and enter westbound I-80 from Green Valley Road. Detours signs will be posted.

Temporary Lane Configuration-Westbound I-80 to Westbound SR-12
Motorists are also advised to watch for a temporary lane configuration approaching the westbound I-80 to westbound State Route 12 (SR-12) connector. Crews will shift the westbound I-80 approach lane to westbound SR-12 slightly to the east as work continues on the new westbound
I-80/SR-12 connector. The temporary shift original scheduled to occur the night of June 10, 2016 has now been rescheduled to occur on the night of June 16, 2016.
