ALAMEDA COUNTY ― Caltrans has scheduled to close Gilman Street between Second and Fourth streets in Berkeley starting Tuesday, May 2 at 6 a.m. and continuing until late June 2023.
The closure will be rescheduled in case of unanticipated developments, and the public will be notified in advance.
During the closure, access to businesses will be maintained and detours will be provided (see below). Truckers should use the alternate detour route described below under “Detours.”
The closure will accommodate work on a roundabout Caltrans is building that will enhance safety and ease congestion at the Interstate 80 Gilman Interchange.
The closure will take place from the west side of the intersection of Fourth Street and Gilman. Traffic will be allowed in both directions on Fourth Street. The east side of the Second Street intersection with Gilman will be closed, but traffic will be allowed in both directions on Second Street.
Fifth Street from Camelia to Gilman and Camelia to Fourth through Sixth Streets will not be impacted other than possibly increased traffic from detours.
In the case of unanticipated developments, the closure dates will be adjusted, and the public will be notified.
Caltrans thanks pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists for your patience as we work to improve the Gilman intersection. Every effort will be made to minimize inconvenience to the traveling public.
Signage will be provided to guide cyclists, pedestrians, and motorists.
