The Contra Costa Transportation Authority and Caltrans will conduct overnight highway and connector ramp closures in the state Highway 4/Interstate Highway 680 interchange starting Thursday night.
The four nights of closures, part of a multi-phase project to improve safety and reduce congestion in the interchange, includes closing the ramp from eastbound Highway 4 to northbound Highway 680 and the ramps from both southbound and northbound Highway 680 to eastbound Highway 4 each night.
On Thursday and Saturday nights, eastbound Highway 4 will be fully closed from Pacheco Boulevard to Solano Way, while the westbound side will be closed in the same area on Friday and Sunday nights.
The closures will allow vehicle traffic to move to the newly constructed connector ramps from northbound Highway 680 to eastbound Highway 4 and from westbound Highway 4 to northbound Highway 680.
Workers will also complete eastbound and westbound bridges at Grayson Creek and a widened section of pavement between Pacheco Boulevard and the Walnut Creek Bridge.
The closures are between 11 p.m. Thursday and 5 a.m. Friday, 10 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. Saturday, the end of the night Saturday to 8 a.m. Sunday, and 8 p.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Monday.
Motorists in the area during the closure windows are advised to drive cautiously and be alert for signage on detours around the construction area. According to Caltrans, the construction schedule is subject to change as weather permits.
When is this project going to be finished? Hire the Chinese to get it done in half the time and half the price.
And half the safety…. why in the world would you want to outsource more? I know some of this comment is a jest, but seriously…..
Some people just have no idea how long it takes to do a project of that magnitude! 🤪😂
When will Phase IV and Phase V of this project be started/completed (the flyovers)?
Whenever it is, that’s too late, LOL
Flyovers??? Are we getting flyovers??? I certainly hope so.
Who said they’re doing flyovers? Of course that would be the best way but I don’t think it’s going to happen!

Ooooh… Great opportunity for CHP to do car-by-car DUI checks as cars are diverted off the freeway to side roads. Like shooting fish in a barrel… They could make their numbers for the month in one night.
How many years ago did governor Moonbeam spend the money that was passed for this improvement (all the way to Stockton) on touchy feely here today gone tomorrow stuff? The cost was so much less then and he was still reelected!!!
Well, now we are stuck with Son of Moonbeam.
Pretty sure the third bore of the Caldecott Tunnel didn’t take this long.
I think your correct on that one. But maybe since there was no traffic in the third bore to deal with during construction,….could be the reason,…?
Correction: fourth bore
Ok yeah maybe they should do improvements during day light hours when it’s at least 150 to 175 degrees in direct Sun, pavement not included.
