Traffic Snarled on 880 Due to Kato Road Closure

Detour routed to Dixon Landing; road should open Thursday morning.

A road closure in Fremont is causing a traffic backup on Interstate Highway 880 this evening.

Kato Road was closed between Warm Springs Boulevard and Milmont Drive at around 9 a.m. today for emergency repairs and was expected to reopen this evening, a Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority spokeswoman said.

The roadwork is taking longer than expected, however, and will most likely continue through the night, spokeswoman Brandi Childress said.
