When:

Friday, August 15, 2025; 10:00 AM - Noon

Who:

Caltrans and the Solano Transportation Authority (STA).

Speakers:
Solano County Supervisor, District 5………………….……………….Mitch Mashburn
California Highway Patrol Deputy Commissioner……….…….. Ezery Beauchamp
Caltrans Bay Area District Director, Design …………………….…….Wajahat Nyaz

Why:

The existing facility is outdated, under capacity, and does not include state of the art technology required for truck inspections today. Existing access from I-80 consists of short on and off ramps, resulting in truck traffic backing up onto I-80 and increasing the potential for rear-end accidents. During peak traffic periods experienced several times per week, the facility is closed to incoming trucks to prevent this queuing.

Construction is slated to begin in late August 2025 with completion scheduled in December 2029.
