Mines Road lane closure
The Alameda County Public Works Agency has closed the eastbound lane of Mines Road at mile marker 6.5 since early January as a precautionary measure due to distressed pavement conditions.
Officials have implemented a one-lane, two-way traffic control system in that area until the eastbound lane can safely reopen.
"Motorists traveling through this area are urged to exercise caution and strictly adhere to all traffic control directives. It is recommended that non-local traffic avoid this area," officials said. For updates, visit acpwa.org.
Sheriff's office history via museum
The Museum of the San Ramon Valley is hosting Dublin historian and author Steve Minniear next Thursday (Jan. 18) at 11:30 a.m. to speak about the history of the Alameda County Sheriff's Office.
The presentation, which will be held virtually by video, will span from the county sheriff's early days in the 1850s through the department's evolution in the 20th and now 21st centuries. The event is free but registration is required; go to museumsrv.org for more details.

An information session is set for next Thursday (Jan. 18) at 7 p.m. at 777 Peters Ave. Learn more at ptsca.org.
