SOLANO COUNTY – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will install drainage systems on and adjacent to the I-780 Laurel Street Bridge which will require a 4-day closure of an additional block of Laurel Street just north of the bridge.

The old Laurel Street Bridge was demolished in June 2017 and is currently being rebuilt above westbound and eastbound I-780 in Vallejo.

The new Laurel Street Bridge will be constructed to meet the latest seismic safety standards.
Construction of the new bridge will be completed as early as late December 2017.
