Interstate-80 at Midway Road in Vacaville
Full Overnight Highway Closure
During Bridge Demolition
Starts Saturday, September 9, 2017 at 11:00 PM
Expect Delays

SOLANO COUNTY— The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will demolish the Midway Road Bridge above eastbound and westbound Interstate-80 (I-80) during one-night of demolition work. The bridge is located in Solano County just east of Downtown Vacaville.

To ensure worker and public safety during the demolition, a full highway closure will be in effect on eastbound and westbound I-80 the night of Saturday, September 9, 2017 until early morning Sunday, September 10, 2017.

I-80 Closures and Detours-Overnight September 9
Westbound I-80 will be closed at Midway Road starting Saturday, September 9 at 11:00 PM until Sunday, September 10 at 8:00 AM. Motorists will be taken off I-80 at Midway Road, then southbound on North Meridian Street, then re-enter westbound I-80 from North Meridian.

Eastbound I-80 will be closed at Midway Road starting Sunday September 10 at 12:01 AM until 8:00 AM that same morning. Motorists will have a short detour onto adjacent auxiliary lanes and back onto eastbound I-80. Detour signs will be posted. CHP will help direct motorists.
Please allow for extra time and expect delays. All work is weather dependent.

Midway Bridge Long-Term Closure-Starting September 6, 2017
Caltrans will completely CLOSE the I-80 Midway Road Bridge above I-80 starting Wednesday, September 6 at 9:00 AM in preparation of its demolition and rebuild. The Midway Bridge will remain CLOSED until the new Midway Bridge is completed as early as spring 2018.

Project Benefits
The project will demolish and rebuild the Midway Road Bridge. The work seismically retrofits the bridge and brings it up to the latest seismic safety standards.

Midway Road Bridge Closure-Detour Routes
During the construction of the new Midway Road Bridge, the Meridian Road Bridge above I-80 and just west of the Midway Road Bridge will remain OPEN and serve as a general detour.

Construction Zone Activity
Residents and businesses near the Midway Bridge may temporarily experience increased construction noise.
