FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ramp Metering to Start on Northbound I-680 in Fremont
on December 6, 2016
Alameda County – Starting tomorrow, Caltrans (District 4) will begin ramp metering operations on northbound Interstate 680 in Fremont from Auto Mall Parkway/Durham Road to Mission Boulevard (north).
In order to acclimate drivers to the presence of the new meters, the lights will be solid green beginning December 6 from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Beginning December 20, ramp meters will begin full operation Monday through Friday from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
The Ramp Metering Information Line number is (510) 286-4531.
The new ramp metering system is a collaborative effort between Caltrans and the City of Fremont. This I-680 corridor is already metered in the southbound direction during the morning peak hours. The city recently asked Caltrans to implement ramp metering to during evening peak hours in order to discourage freeway traffic from using city streets to bypass congestion.
Newly activated ramp locations are expected to experience delays during the first few days of cycling operation. Caltrans and city staff will monitor the metered ramps and make adjustments as needed.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Traffic Signal Activation Completed
State Route 29 at Grayson Avenue, St. Helena
Wednesday, November 29, 2016
Watch for New Signal
NAPA COUNTY – Caltrans and its local stakeholders have activated a new traffic signal light on State Route 29 (SR-29) at Grayson Avenue in St. Helena.
The new traffic signal light was activated on Tuesday, November 29, 2016 at approximately 11:00 AM. The signal light was originally scheduled to be activated on November 2 but was postponed because of rain, additional electrical work and testing.
Now that the signal is activated, all motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians are required to make a full and complete stop when approaching a red light.
Motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians are reminded to travel through this intersection near St. Helena High School with extra caution as this is a time of adjustment for everyone. CHP will be patrolling the area.
The new signal light is part of the SR-29 Channelization Project and was completed through a joint effort between the City of St. Helena and Caltrans.
Major construction of the Channelization Project was completed last month. The project rehabilitates the pavement on SR-29 on and near St. Helena, provides a continuous 2-way left turn lane and reconstructs the bike path adjacent to SR-29 near Whitehall Lane.
