12-Hour Overnight Closure of Gilman Street at the I-80 Gilman Interchange in Berkeley November 11-12, 2022

Published:

ALAMEDA COUNTY – Caltrans has scheduled to close Gilman Street overnight for 12 hours at the Interstate 80 interchange in Berkeley on Friday and Saturday on November 11th and November 12th, 2022.

Gilman Street will be closed in both directions starting at 8 p.m. on Friday, November 11th, and ending at 8 a.m. on Saturday, November 12th.

During the closure, vehicles will not be able to access eastbound I-80 from Gilman Street. Also, vehicles on eastbound I-80 will not be able to use the Gilman exits. At least one lane on eastbound I-80 will be closed during the closure.

However, the westbound Gilman onramps and offramps remain accessible to vehicles via detour routes and westbound I-80 will remain open at all times.

The purpose of the closure is to repair the damaged bridge girder to the I-80 freeway overpass at Gilman Street that occurred in July when a flatbed truck carrying an excavator hit the overcrossing.

Detours:

Westbound motorists on I-80 going to Berkeley will be detoured to use southbound West Frontage Road and eastbound University Ave in Berkeley.   

Motorists who wish to access eastbound I-80 from Gilman Street will be detoured to take the southbound West Frontage Road and follow the detour signs to eastbound University Avenue and then left onto northbound San Pablo Avenue, continue on San Pablo Avenue for about 1 mile, then left onto westbound Marin Avenue, then continue on Marin Avenue for ¼ mile then enter eastbound I-80.

Motorists traveling to westbound I-80 from Gilman Street will be detoured onto southbound Eastshore Highway, then left onto eastbound Cedar Street, then right onto southbound San Pablo Avenue, and right onto westbound University Avenue, continue on westbound University Avenue to access I-80.

Motorists traveling to eastbound I-80 from Gilman Street will be detoured onto northbound Eastshore Highway, continue on Eastshore Highway and then left onto Buchanan Street. Enter I-80 from Buchanan Street.
