Caltrans Postpones Hwy 37 Weekend Closure; Calls For Thursday Closure

NORTH BAY, CA — Caltrans has scheduled a nighttime full closure of westbound State Route 37 between state Highway 37 in Vallejo and state Highway 121 in Sonoma County for Thursday night, May 2, and has postponed a 55-hour eastbound closure that was set for this weekend for an ongoing major pavement repair project.

Because of unfavorable weather and high winds last weekend, some of the weekend's work on westbound Sr-37 had to be postponed. It will now take place starting at 9 p.m. Thursday, May 2 until 4 a.m. Friday, May 3.

To ensure the safety of workers and motorists, Caltrans needs to close westbound lanes from Mare Island to Sears Point to complete the work. Detours will be in place.

Motorists traveling westbound on SR-37 will need to:

1. exit right onto northbound SR-29/Sonoma Boulevard in Vallejo;
2. continue on northbound SR-29/Broadway to SR-29/SR-12;
3. turn left and continue on SR-12/SR-121 aka Carneros Highway/Fremont Drive);
4. turn left on SR-121/Arnold Drive; and
5. turn right back on westbound SR-37.

Eastbound Closure Postponed

Because of inclement weather in the forecast, Caltrans has postponed a 55-hour closure of eastbound SR-37 scheduled to start this weekend, Friday, May 3-Monday, May 6 and continue again the weekend of May 10-13.

Caltrans is finishing westbound work during the Thursday night closure and will provide more information soon on when the major pavement repair project will begin on eastbound SR-37 from Sears Point to Mare Island.

The work is weather-dependent; Caltrans previously said the weekend of May 17 was planned as a contingency for postponed work.
