The Alameda County Public Works Agency closed Tesla Road after more erosion in a hard-hit stretch of the roadway east of Livermore this weekend.

The California Highway Patrol’s Dublin office announced on social media Saturday that Tesla Road was being shut down to through traffic from Cross Road in Livermore all the way to the Alameda-San Joaquin counties border. 

The CHP-Dublin post on X included a photo depicting additional erosion at an area where road crews had already been working for more than a month due to prior landslide damage. 

County public works confirmed on Sunday that Tesla Road was closed at mile marker 9.5 to through traffic until further notice. 

Tesla Road is a major commuter thoroughfare for motorists looking for an alternative route to the freeway.
