The Fourth Street off-ramp on the Eastbound I-80 Freeway will be closed starting Friday. It won't reopen until Monday.

"Each project will receive major repaving and rehabilitation, helping create safer, smoother driving experiences for everyone who drives to, from, and in and around the San Francisco Bay Area," according to Caltrans.
In this case, Caltrans crews will complete an overhaul of decks and bridge rails, adding polyester overlay and reconstructing joints along the I-80 Freeway, officials said. Detours will be put in place.
The Fab 4 Rehab project began in late 2025 and is expected to continue through 2028.
