Current Traffic Advisories

Northbound Interstate 680 FULLY REOPENED
Between State Route 84 and Bernal Avenue in Sunol/Pleasanton

SUNOL/PLEASANTON – Caltrans is excited to announce that northbound Interstate 680 reopened early between State Route 84 and Bernal Avenue after the agency successfully repaved 5,000 feet of the roadway.

The freeway had been scheduled to open at 5 a.m. Monday, March 18, but opened 10 hours ahead of schedule, at 7 p.m. Sunday.

The work is part of a roadway reconstruction project on northbound I-680 stretching from Sunol to San Ramon that will make a smoother ride for motorists.

Caltrans thanks the motoring public for your patience during the closure.

Southbound I-680 remained open and was not affected by the closure.

Caltrans Repaving Northbound Interstate 680 Between Sunol and San Ramon

Caltrans is embarking upon a major improvement project that will repave northbound Interstate 680 and replace entire sections of the roadway to enhance safety and provide a smoother ride to motorists.

The project will take place on I-680 between Koopman Road in Sunol and Alcosta Boulevard in San Ramon.

Caltrans will need to close freeway lanes and entire sections of the freeway to do the work. The work is scheduled to begin in December, starting in the Sunol area and working northward, and will last about a year and a half.

Additionally, in 2023, work will necessitate closing I-680 for 72 hours on the following holidays:

Martin Luther King holiday (mid-January 2023)
President’s Day (mid-February 2023)
Memorial Day (late May 2023)
Labor Day – (September 2023)

These closures will shorten the time needed to complete the project. Caltrans will provide additional holiday closure information as soon it becomes available. The public will be notified in advance via traffic advisories, a webpage and social media.

The first part of the project is located in the City of Sunol.

To perform this work, Caltrans has scheduled to close northbound Interstate 680 overnight from the I-680/State Route 84 junction to the Sunol Boulevard exit starting in December 2022 and anticipated to complete in April 2023.

All lanes of northbound I-680 will be closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Friday. Weekend closures are not anticipated, barring unforeseen circumstances. All work is weather-dependent.

Caltrans is aware that the closures will impact the motoring public and every step is being taken to minimize inconvenience.

California Highway Patrol officers and message signs will be on hand to guide motorists. Detours for the December closures are as follows:
