THANK YOU!!!
To all Residents of Solano, Sonoma & Napa Counties,
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the communities impacted by the recent State Route 37 Pavement Project. Your patience and cooperation during the series of full weekend closures and detours were invaluable as Caltrans prioritized safety and undertook these much-needed repairs.
The completion of the pavement repair work on SR-37has ensured a safer and smoother driving experience for all. These improvements were critical due to the high traffic volume and the need to maintain our infrastructure to the highest standards.
The work included replacing deteriorated pavement and much needed maintenance on the route.
We are pleased to report that the project was completed smoothly and safely, all thanks to the excellent communication and collaboration between the local business, local agencies, our workers, and you, the communities who use this route as part of your daily lives. This teamwork ensured the safety of everyone involved and significantly minimized disruptions. By doing the work during the weekends, Caltrans was able to defer over 30 days of nightly closures and weekday disruptions for commuters. Your cooperation truly helped complete this project efficiently and safely, ensuring that SR-37 remains are liable and safe route for everyone.
The SR-37 paving project was part of a broader effort to address chronic traffic congestion, improve resilience against flooding and sea level rise, and to provide better connections between jobs and homes for our communities. Future improvements will continue to enhance public access, create safer mobility options for bicycles and pedestrians, and adapt the roadway to environmental changes!
