I-680 Weekend Closure Postponed, Niles Canyon Road Reopened

SUNOL, CA — Caltrans has postponed the previously scheduled closure of northbound 680 in Sunol between SR-84 and Sunol Boulevard due to predicted rain.

The closure will likely be postponed until President’s Day weekend, the agency said.

The closure was supposed to take place over the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend to perform repaving work. When it is closed, I-680 will be closed in the northbound direction between from Friday evening to Monday morning.

The closure is part of a larger project to repave 680 between Koopman Road in Sunol and Alcosta Boulevard in San Ramon. Closures are also anticipated during Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. The project is supposed to last about a year and a half.

Information about the closure will be provided through traffic advisories, online, and social media. Visit 680paving.com for more information.

In the same area, Niles Canyon Road from Mission Boulevard in Fremont to Main Street in Sunol reopened Thursday. The road was closed Monday to accommodate crews cleaning up flood debris and repairing guardrails.

Motorists are still advised to drive cautiously through the area, particularly in the rain.
