Northbound SR-242 Detour Route
During the Northbound SR-242 closures, motorists heading eastbound towards Pittsburg and Antioch are advised to use Northbound I-680 to connect with Eastbound State Route 4 (SR-4).
Local traffic is advised to use alternate routes including Monument Boulevard, Willow Pass Road, and Concord Avenue. Motorists should watch for detour signs and expect weekend traffic delays on Willow Pass Road, Monument Boulevard and Concord Avenue.
Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, I’ll probably remember this when I’m jumping on the freeway!
Willow Pass is going to be a cluster.
Already is right? The stretch along the naval station is one giant pothole too. I wont even drive it anymore.

You are so right!
I live right off Willow Pass Rd near there, and won’t go to Hwy 4 from there. Rather go down E. Olivera to Port Chicago to Hwy 4.
Diane Becton will no doubt take credit for the reduction in shootings during construction.
this is going to make it harder to get reparations!!
