Full Closure of Southbound I-680 in Pleasanton between I-580/I-680 Connector and Koopman Road RESCHEDULED to April 26-29, 2024

Published:

PLEASANTON / ALAMEDA COUNTY – The full weekend closure of southbound Interstate 680 between the I-580/I-680 connector in Pleasanton and Koopman Road in Sunol has been RESCHEDULED. The closure will take place Friday, April 26 through Monday morning, April 29.

The closure had initially been scheduled to take place April 12-15, but has been RESCHEDULED. The planned closure April 12-15 will not take place.

Southbound Interstate 680 will be closed between the I-580/I-680 Connector in Pleasanton and Koopman Road in Sunol from 9 p.m. Friday, April 26 through 4 a.m. Monday morning, April 29, 2024.

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.

The I-680 freeway will be closed in the southbound direction between the I-580/I-680 Connector and Koopman Road from 9:00 p.m. Friday, April 26 to 4:00 a.m. the following Monday, April 29.

This is the last full weekend closure of southbound I-680 in the area between I-580/I-680 and Koopman Road. Work will continue on southbound I-680 through the year at night under typical lane closures.

The project stretches from Sunol and Pleasanton to the south to San Ramon to the north. There will be full weekend closures of southbound I-680 in San Ramon later this year.

This weekend closure will rehabilitate the pavement an entire year ahead of schedule, giving motorists a smooth ride starting in spring 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 rescheduled and the public will be notified.

Portable changeable message signs will be placed prior to closure advising motorists of this closure and will remain in effect throughout the weekend while work is being performed.

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 we work to improve I-680.
