Westbound Carquinez Bridge Closed and Highway 101 Lanes Reduced for Weekend Rehab

Caltrans concentrated the weekend work to complete deck repaving and drainage stabilization quickly so crews can reopen major corridors early next week.

Overview

  • Caltrans closed the westbound Alfred Zampa Memorial (Carquinez) Bridge Friday night for a deck repaving project that will keep the westbound span and its pedestrian and bike path closed through early Monday morning.
  • Officials directed westbound I‑80 traffic to detours using southbound I‑680, the Benicia Bridge and westbound Highway 4 while keeping eastbound I‑80 open.
  • Two lanes in each direction on Highway 101’s Hospital Curve in San Francisco were reduced starting Friday night for median work and drainage upgrades that are part of a 2025 stabilization project.
  • San Francisco Bay Ferry added extra Vallejo-route trips and Caltrans urged drivers to use alternate routes or public transit because queuing is expected on I‑780, I‑680 and the Benicia Bridge.
  • Coverage shows slight discrepancies in reported start times and total hours but all outlets say the closures are scheduled to end by about 3 a.m. Monday, so commuters should plan for multi-hour delays and altered travel plans.
