Solano County I-80 Closures Rescheduled: Caltrans

SOLANO COUNTY, CA — Rainy conditions this week prompted Caltrans to postpone nighttime work related to the continuing construction of the new Midway Road Bridge above Interstate Highway 80. Work on the bridge in rural Solano County just east of downtown Vacaville was scheduled to start Tuesday, Nov. 7 but has been rescheduled to begin on Thursday, Nov. 16, Caltrans officials said in a news release.

The work, which involves Caltrans and its contractor installing bridge falsework, requires full nighttime closures of I-80 at Midway Road, Caltrans officials said.

Eastbound I-80 Closure/Detour

To ensure worker and public safety, a full closure of eastbound I-80 at Midway Road will be in effect from 11:59 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 16 until 5 a.m. Friday, Nov. 17. Eastbound I-80 motorists will need to detour at the Meridian off-ramp onto Weber Road, then take a left at Lewis Road to re-enter eastbound I-80 at Midway.

Westbound I-80 Closure/Detour

A full closure of westbound I-80 at Midway Road will be in effect from 11:59 a.m. Friday, Nov. 17 until 5 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 18. Motorists will be detoured from I-80 at Midway, then southbound on North Meridian Street in order to re-enter westbound I-80.

Detour signs will be posted and California Highway Patrol will help direct motorists.

Caltrans advises motorists to allow extra time and to expect delays.

All work is weather dependent, according to Caltrans.
