Upcoming I-680 Closure
Friday, March 15–Monday AM, March 18

Caltrans is scheduled to close southbound Interstate 680 in Pleasanton between the I-580/I-680 Connector and Koopman Road from 9 p.m. Friday, March 15 through 4 a.m. on Monday, March 18.

During the closure, contractor will replace a portion of the existing deteriorated roadway with new pavement on southbound I-680, between the I-580/I-680 Connector and Koopman Road. The work will repair deteriorating existing pavement and enhance motorist safety while reducing the number of nightly closures needed on the project.

This weekend closure will rehabilitate the pavement an entire year ahead of schedule, giving motorists a smooth ride starting in March 2024 instead of having to drive on deteriorated pavement until 2025. It also will accomplish the amount of work that otherwise would require an estimated 40 nighttime closures.

In the case of rain or unanticipated developments, the closures will be re-scheduled and the public will be notified.

Northbound I-680 will remain open and will not be affected by the closure.

Caltrans is aware that the closures will impact the motoring public and measures are being taken to minimize inconvenience. Caltrans thanks the motoring public in advance for your patience as it works to improve I-680.

Detours for the closures are as follows:

• Motorists driving west on Interstate 80 in Vacaville and Fairfield will remain on I-80 to southbound I-880.
• Motorists on southbound I-680 near the Benicia Bridge can take I-780 west to I-80 to southbound I-880.
• Motorists on southbound I-680 in Concord can take SR-4 to I-80 to southbound I-880.
• Motorists on southbound I-680 in Walnut Creek can take SR-24 to I-80 to southbound I-880.
• Motorists on Southbound I-680 in Danville take westbound I-580 to SR-238 to southbound I-880.
• Motorists on Southbound I-680 in Danville take eastbound I-580 to SR-84 to southbound I-680.
• Motorists on westbound I-580 coming from Tracy can exit onto southbound SR-84 and get back on southbound I-680 just south of Calaveras Road near Sunol.
• Motorists on westbound Sunol Boulevard can only take northbound I-680. (Access to Southbound I-680 is restricted in Pleasanton City and Sunol City)
• Full Shutdown of southbound Foothill Road and southbound Pleasanton Sunol Road at Castlewood Drive: Motorists on southbound Foothill can only turn left onto Castlewood Drive and only turn left again onto Pleasanton Sunol Road to northbound I-680. (Access to Southbound I-680 is restricted in Pleasanton city and Sunol City)

Full Shutdown Locations:
