I-880 HOV PROJECT UPDATE

Today’s Date:          March 11, 2013                                                                               
District:                     District 4, Oakland

Contact:                    Bernard Walik

Phone:                      510.286.5705

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                          I-880 HOV PROJECT UPDATE

Santa Clara County - The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is currently constructing an additional HOV lane on I-880 as well as widening and realigning the on and off- ramps to I-880 at the Brokaw Road Interchange. This project will reduce congestion along Interstate 880 between U.S. 101 and State Route 237 interchanges by adding approximately 4.6 miles of high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane in both directions as well as improving the Brokaw Road Interchange.

Caltrans will start grinding, paving and striping this area beginning this week through July, 2013.  Work will be performed  throughout the week including weekends from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. There will be various freeway lane and ramp closures during this paving operation; however, Caltrans will always provide at least one open lane in both directions of travel and will never close two consecutive ramps.

Electronic highway message signs and detour signs will be in place to assist motorists traveling in the area.  

Please drive cautiously when approaching the construction area and “ Slow for the Cone Zone.”

TRAFFIC SWITCH FOR NEW I-880 N/B BRIDGE AT 5TH AVENUE THIS WEEKEND

State of California • Department of Transportation

TRAFFIC ADVISORY

Date: February 28, 2013

District: 4 – Alameda County

Contact: Gregory Townsend, Public Information Officer

Phone: 510/286-6115

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TRAFFIC SWITCH FOR NEW I-880 N/B BRIDGE AT 5TH AVENUE THIS WEEKEND

ALAMEDA COUNTY – Caltrans will initiate an early morning traffic switch Sunday morning, March 3, 2013, to divert motorists traveling on the old northbound (N/B) Interstate 880 (I-880) bridge structure onto the newly-completed bridge structure.

Lane closures along I-880 will begin Saturday night, March 2, 2013 at 11 p.m. to minimize normal traffic delays that could occur at the (estimated) conclusion of Saturday night’s Golden State Warriors game at the Oracle Arena.

Once the switch is completed by 9 a.m. Sunday morning (March 3), motorists who wish to use the Oak Street exit will need to use the 5th Avenue/Embarcadero exit. Oak Street motorists will continue northbound on old I-880 bridge to reach Oak Street.

IMPORTANT: Northbound I-880 motorists exiting Oak Street will need to exit I-880 sooner, since the Oak Street exit traffic will be temporarily shifted south to exit the freeway with the 5th Avenue/Embarcadero exit.

This detour will last approximately 3 weeks until construction for the transition from the new bridge to the Oak Street exit is complete. Portable Changeable Message Signs (PCMS) will be used along the construction zone to notify motorists of all changes.

This traffic switch will allow construction crews to safely conduct demolition activities of the existing northbound bridge and to complete final retrofit construction of 5th Avenue Bridge.

Motorists should are reminded to please be alert for workers and "Slow for the Cone

Zone”. Caltrans appreciates your patience as we work to improve the highways.
