ALAMEDA COUNTY ― Caltrans has closed Eastshore Highway at the Interstate 80 Gilman Street interchange in Berkeley. The closure runs from Gilman to Page Street on the south side of Gilman and from Gilman to Harrison Street on the north side. The Eastshore Highway is scheduled to reopen in mid-January 2024.
Motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists heading northbound on Eastshore Highway should detour onto eastbound Cedar Street, then turn left onto northbound Fourth Street to access Gilman Street.
The Eastshore Highway is a north-south roadway located immediately east of the I-80 overpass at the Gilman Interchange. The closure will accommodate work on two roundabouts Caltrans is building that will enhance safety and ease congestion at the interchange.
Caltrans is aware of the inconvenience and impacts the closures present to the traveling public and thanks the public for their patience as we work to improve the I-80 Gilman interchange.
The project will enhance safety and improve traffic operations along Gilman Street between West Frontage Road and 5th Street through the I-80 Interchange.
The main project components are two roundabouts at Gilman Street intersections on both sides of I-80, as well as a new bicycle/pedestrian overcrossing over I-80 and bicycle facilities at and near the interchange. The project will also close the gap in the Bay Trail at the west end of Gilman Street and create a dedicated two-way cycle track along Gilman Street from the interchange to Fourth Street.
