Santa Clara County – Beginning Thursday night, December 7, 2023, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will perform a full closure of State Route 9 (SR-9) Big Basin Way, at Sanborn Road, to begin to  removal of a temporary bridge for the Saratoga Creek Bridge Rehabilitation project, in the city of Saratoga, Santa Clara County.

The closure is needed to safely remove a temporary bridge adjacent to the existing Saratoga Creek Bridge.

This road closure is taking place now to keep pace with an accelerated schedule to complete the overall project by the end of the year and reduce the duration of impact to traffic and the community. The overall goal of the project is to safely rehabilitate the Saratoga Creek Bridge so that the bridge can continue to provide connectivity to SR-9 in the event of an earthquake. Project is scheduled to be complete by the end December 2023.

Limited access to Sanborn Road will remain open via Southbound Highway 9 beyond Pierce Road.
