I-680 work rescheduled

Caltrans has postponed the final weekend closure of northbound Interstate 680 in the Pleasanton area for one week due to inclement weather forecasted for this weekend.

The new dates, weather permitting, are from 10 p.m. next Friday (March 3) through that Monday (March 6) at 5 a.m. between Sunol Boulevard and Bernal Avenue in Pleasanton. The major repaving project will result in all northbound lanes in that area being closed and significant detours in place. Southbound lanes will remain fully open.

The agency is in the midst of work that planned to close northbound I-680 lanes between Sunol and Pleasanton on three entire weekends. The first two shutdowns took place from Feb. 10-13 and over the Presidents Day weekend.
