- Caltrans will close two eastbound and two westbound lanes of I-80 nightly for repairs starting Monday.
- The work will focus on replacing damaged concrete barriers and tubular railings, with one lane open during repairs.
- Motorists should expect significant traffic delays due to the lane closures and plan their routes accordingly.
Starting Monday, Caltrans will implement nightly lane closures on Interstate Highway 80 in San Francisco to conduct essential repairs. The closures will affect two eastbound and two westbound lanes, taking place from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night. The repair work aims to replace concrete barriers and tubular railings that have been damaged due to vehicle collisions, ensuring improved safety for motorists. The construction crews will focus on one direction of traffic at a time, allowing one lane to remain open during the repairs. This approach is designed to minimize disruption while still addressing the necessary repairs. However, motorists should be prepared for significant traffic delays as a result of the lane closures. In addition to the work on I-80, Caltrans has announced that other barrier repairs will necessitate a full closure of U.S. Highway 101, also known as the Central Freeway. This closure is scheduled to last for 55 hours, beginning on October 4, further impacting traffic in the area. These repair efforts are crucial for maintaining the integrity of the highway infrastructure and ensuring the safety of all road users. The agency emphasizes the importance of these repairs and encourages drivers to plan their routes accordingly to avoid delays during the construction period.
