Construction Resumes On Willow Pass Road Projects

Press release from the City of Concord:

CONCORD, CA—Construction activities for two projects on Willow Pass Road have resumed following a holiday break. Work for these two projects will occur on Willow Pass Road between East Street and Landana Drive. This work is being coordinated to ensure that work areas do not overlap or become within close proximity of each other to avoid traffic control conflicts.

The Willow Pass Repaving Safe Route to Transit (SR2T) Improvement Project (Project No. 2449) involves the construction of a concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter, and curb ramps throughout the next few months on Willow Pass Road from Port Chicago Highway to Landana Drive. Additionally, shoulder-widening work is taking place adjacent to the Contra Costa Canal for the next couple of weeks with paving work anticipated to begin in June.

The Willow Pass and Landana Sewer Capacity Improvements Project (Project No. 2702/2704) is a sewer main line replacement with a pipe-bursting method on Willow Pass Road between East Street and Landana Drive. Various lane closure alignments include shifting all traffic to one side of Willow Pass Road with one-way traffic in each direction. There are also various side street closures and left-turn lane closures. Detours are set up to guide motorists around these closures.

The lane closure hours for weekday work are 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Starting Saturday, Jan. 18, the Saturday lane closure hours are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. every Saturday until the completion of work, which is anticipated for mid-May, weather permitting.

When possible, please avoid using Willow Pass Road during the aforementioned work hours to minimize traffic delays. Please observe all construction and detour signage for your own safety and that of others.

A project area map and more information are available at www.cityofconcord.org/WillowPass.
