Caltrans is scheduled to close southbound Interstate 680 in Pleasanton between the I-580/I-680 connector and State Route 84 on Friday, November 3 through Monday morning, November 6, 2023.
During the closure, the contractor will replace a portion of the existing deteriorated roadway with new pavement on southbound I-680, between the I-580/I-680 interchange and State Route 84. This work will repair deteriorating existing pavements and enhance motorist safety while reducing the number of nightly closures needed on the project.
The I-680 freeway will be closed in the southbound direction between I-580/I-680 Connector in Pleasanton and State Route 84 in Sunol from 9:00 p.m. Friday, November 3 to 4:00 a.m. the following Monday, November 6.,
Learn about the closure at www.680paving.com or leave a question on our project hotline at (510) 286-0319.
In the case of rain or unanticipated developments, the closures will be rescheduled and the public will be notified.
Portable changeable message signs will be placed prior to closure advising motorists of this closure and will remain in effect throughout the weekend while work is being performed.
Northbound I-680 will remain open and will not be affected by the closure.
Caltrans is aware that the closures will impact the motoring public and measures are being taken to minimize inconvenience. Caltrans thanks the motoring public in advance for your patience as we work to improve I-680.

Short-term pain for long-term gain.

Yeah, that section of I-680 is terrible.

I say northbound traffic will be affected by all the rubberneckers.
Oh so badly needed.
Normally Caltrans would do this on Thanksgiving weekend and really mess up things.
