Overview

  • Partial lane closures began Friday at 8 p.m. with a full shutdown at 10 p.m. and northbound traffic barred until 5 a.m. Monday.
  • Crews are performing full bridge deck resurfacing, approach slab repairs and pavement rehabilitation at the Mission San Jose Overpass to enhance safety.
  • Detours guide drivers off I-680 onto Mission Boulevard/SR 238 and Niles Canyon Road/SR 84 while Caltrans recommends I-880 and I-580 to avoid bottlenecks.
  • Saturday’s 11-mile detour caused bumper-to-bumper delays of over two hours and prompted drivers to cut through local streets.
  • Caltrans says the weekend work will save more than 130 days of overnight closures and has set up a hotline (510-286-0319) for traffic information.
