This Weekend: Planned Partial Closures of Southbound I-680 between Alcosta Boulevard and I-580/I-680 Connector
9 p.m. Friday, May 31– 4 a.m. Monday, June 3

Caltrans has scheduled a partial closure of southbound Interstate 680 between Alcosta Boulevard in San Ramon and the I-580/I-680 connector in Pleasanton Friday, May 31 through Monday, June 3.

In the closure, three left lanes of southbound Interstate 680 will be closed between Alcosta Boulevard in San Ramon and the I-580/I-680 Connector in Pleasanton from 9 p.m. Friday through 4 a.m. Monday morning.

Two right lanes of I-680 will remain open during the closure. However, CalTrans encourages motorists to take alternative routes to alleviate traffic congestion within the construction work zone on southbound I-680 in the cities of San Ramon and Dublin.

In addition to the closure on southbound I-680, the far-left lane (Express Lane) and left shoulder will be closed on northbound I-680 between Amador Valley Boulevard in Dublin and Alcosta Blvd in San Ramon.

Though lanes will be open, it’s best to avoid the area if possible. If you do access the freeway, **Please be aware of construction vehicles entering and exiting the construction zone and slow for the Cone Zone.**

During the closures, the contractor will replace a portion of the existing deteriorated roadway with new pavement on southbound I-680.

Northbound I-680 and I-580/I-680 interchange connector 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.

California Highway Patrol officers and message signs will be on hand to guide motorists.

Detours for the closure are as follows:

Motorists on southbound I-680 in Walnut Creek can take SR-24 to I-80 to southbound I-880.

Full Shutdown Locations:

• Southbound Saint Patrick Way onramp onto southbound I-680

Lane Closure Locations (Not Full Closure):

• Three left lanes closed on southbound I-680 between Alcosta Blvd in San Ramon and I-580/I-680 connector in Dublin
