FREMONT, CA — If you typically use State Route 84, also known as Niles Canyon Road, the City of Fremont is warning drivers that it will be closed in both directions from Friday evening to Monday morning.

During the closure, a contractor will work around the clock to install polyester concrete overlay on the existing Alameda Creek bridge deck in both the eastbound and westbound directions. The work includes removal of existing asphalt concrete surfacing on the deck, preparing bridge deck surface to receive polyester concrete overlay, furnishing polyester concrete, and placing polyester concrete overlay.
