December 28th 2024.
The California Department of Transportation recently announced some necessary lane closures on State Route 99. These closures are part of ongoing maintenance and construction efforts to keep our roads safe and functional. While these closures may cause some inconvenience, it is important to ensure the safety and longevity of our highways.
In addition to these lane closures, there have been recent incidents on other major highways that have caused delays and disruptions in traffic. A vehicle fire in the Caldecott Tunnel and repair work on Highway 1 near Big Sur have both contributed to congestion and delays for commuters. On top of that, there have been tragic accidents, such as a fatal collision involving a bicyclist on an East Bay highway and a two-car crash on a Peninsula freeway that resulted in a fatality.
As a result of bridge work, the Calaveras River/Frontage Road Overcrossing will be fully closed. Unfortunately, there is currently no estimated time for when it will reopen. We understand that this may cause inconvenience for those who regularly use this route, but the safety of our drivers is our top priority. We encourage motorists to seek alternative routes and plan ahead for potential delays.
Furthermore, there will be alternating lane closures on northbound R-99 from Morada Lane to Eight Mile Road for electrical work. These closures will take place on Monday through Tuesday from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. While this may cause some delays for nighttime drivers, we strive to complete this necessary work as efficiently as possible to minimize disruptions.
We apologize for any inconvenience these lane closures may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding. Please stay updated on road closures and delays by following our official Caltrans channels and by planning your routes accordingly. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work to maintain and improve our state's highways.
