FREMONT — Traffic to the interior East Bay is expected to be a mess this weekend as Caltrans plans to close all southbound I-680 lanes in Pleasanton between the I-580/I-680 connector and SR-84.

The closures will be in place from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. on Tuesday to repair deteriorated pavement. This is a holiday weekend, for Martin Luther King Day on Monday.
