Southbound Interstate 680 will be closed between the Alcosta Boulevard in San Ramon and I-580/I-680 connector in Pleasanton from 9 p.m. Friday, September 20 through 4 a.m. Monday morning, September 23, 2024. However, all I-580/I-680 connectors will remain open through right most lanes on southbound I-680.

In addition to full closures 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.
During the closure, the contractor will replace a portion of the existing deteriorated roadway with new pavement on southbound I-680, from Alcosta Boulevard to I-580/I-680 connector.
Detours for the closures are as follows:
