Major closures coming to Interstate 80 over a seven-week period
Starting Friday night and every other weekend thereafter, Caltrans will be closing either the eastbound or westbound lanes of Interstate 80 in Contra Costa County near the Carquinez Bridge.
If you need to get to Crockett, take the Cummings Skyway. That stretch of roadway will remain open during the closure along with Interstate 780.
Plan to make the same detours on the weekends of Aug. 4 and Aug. 18 when all eastbound lanes of 80 will be closed again to continue that work.
During the Labor Day weekend, Caltrans will start repaving the opposite direction. That's when all the westbound lanes of 80 in this area will be closed.
