I-680 closure near Fremont
Caltrans will be closing southbound Interstate 680 near the Mission San Jose overpass in Fremont this weekend to perform “critical bridge and pavement work”.
The closure will last from Friday (July 25) at 10 p.m. until Monday (July 28) at 5 a.m., according to the transportation agency. There will be another similar closure for the northbound side during the weekend of Aug. 8.
According to Caltrans, the closures will help reduce the “duration and impact of the project”.
“These 55-hour closures are necessary to safely and efficiently complete key construction activities, including full bridge deck resurfacing and approach slab repairs,” the agency stated in a press release. “This phase of work involves heavy machinery and the resurfacing of the entire bridge deck. This work must be performed without live traffic to ensure worker and motorists safety.”
Detours will be set in place. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and use alternate routes.
