680 Closure Canceled Due To Predicted Storms: Caltrans

PLEASANTON, CA — The planned closure of I-680 in Pleasanton over Presidents Day Weekend has been canceled due to predicted rain, according to Caltrans.

The closure of the southbound lane between the I-580/680 connector and Koopman Road was initially planned for MLK Day weekend, when it was also canceled due to rain and postponed. Similar cancellations of planned closures of the same stretch, which is part of a long-term road rehabilitation project, were numerous during the winter storms of early 2023.

Caltrans did not indicate when the next closure will take place.

Three storms bringing heavy rain and wind are predicted to begin Wednesday and last until next week, according to the National Weather Service. Meteorologists say that the storms may not be as powerful as the most recent ones, with winds not likely to exceed 25 mph. Anywhere from an inch to 1.5 inches are likely to fall over the peninsula and the East Bay over several days.
