1. Why does Caltrans need to close the local bridges for 4 months? 

The six bridges don’t meet the current vertical clearance design standard of 16 feet 6 inches. The bridges will be raised one at a time, starting with Springs Road. 

To ensure worker and public safety, westbound and eastbound Springs Road will be closed at WB Interstate 80 for 4 months beginning of November 2020 until mid-March 2021. 

2. Will pedestrian access be impacted?

We understand that the closure will cause some disruption to your daily commute, whether you’re driving, walking to work or biking to your local store. Which is why it was important for Caltrans Bay Area Now to offer a 24-hour shuttle service for residents living in the area to safely use.  All you need to do is walk to one of shuttle stops and call the shuttle number that is located on the sign, Shuttle Number (415) 263-4000.
