Caltrans To Close Access From Northbound SR-29 To Soscol Ferry Road

NAPA COUNTY, CA — Beginning Thursday, Sept. 15, motorists will no longer be allowed to make a left turn from northbound State Highway 29 to Soscol Ferry Road in Napa County.

To access Soscol Ferry Road from northbound SR-29, motorists will instead need to take Airport Boulevard to Devlin Road to Soscol Ferry Road.

"The permanent closure will allow construction crews to start building a temporary roadway in the center median, which will be used for southbound SR-29 traffic for the next construction phase in November 2022," said Pedro Quintana, a spokesperson for Caltrans District 4.

Crews will start working on closing off the left turn pocket on Wednesday night, Sept. 14, from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m.

Construction on the Soscol Junction Interchange Project in southern Napa County started in late July after a slight delay by Swanson hawks that were nesting and fledgling in the area. The three-year, $54-million project will replace the outdated intersection with an overpass and roundabouts.
