Caltrans is planning roadwork over the upcoming holiday weekend that will shut down a stretch of southbound Interstate 680 in Pleasanton, from Friday through Tuesday, Jan. 16.
The closure over the Martin Luther King. Jr. Day weekend will affect southbound I-680 between the Interstate Highway 580/ Interstate Highway 680 connector and Koopman Road.
Crews will replace the deteriorated roadway with new pavement, according to Caltrans. Northbound I-680 will remain open and won’t be affected by the road work.
The closure starts at 9 p.m. Friday, with the road expected to reopen by 4 a.m. Jan. 16.
In the case of rain or unanticipated developments, Caltrans will reschedule the road closure.
Portable changeable message signs will advise motorists of the closure.
Detours during the closures will be:
- Motorists driving west on Interstate 80 in Vacaville and Fairfield will remain on I-80 to southbound I-880.
- Motorists on southbound I-680 near the Benicia Bridge can take I-780 west to I-80 to southbound I-880.
- Motorists on southbound I-680 in Concord can take SR-4 to I-80 to southbound I-880.
- Motorists on southbound I-680 in Walnut Creek can take SR-24 to I-80 to southbound I-880.

- Motorists on Southbound I-680 in Danville take eastbound I-580 to SR-84 to southbound I-680.
- Motorists on westbound I-580 coming from Tracy can exit onto southbound SR-84 and get back on southbound I-680 just south of Calaveras Road near Sunol.
The full closure will affect:

Ugh. I get why they are doing it this way, but this is getting kinda old. Traffic gets soo screwed up, especially on 880 for the whole weekend.
They have postponed this closure
