STOCKTON – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is continuing work on a project to replace the bearing pads of the State Route 12 (SR-12) Potato Slough Bridge located near the Tower Park & Terminous communities, west of Interstate 5 (I-5) in San Joaquin County.
This $6.36 million project will require overnight one-way traffic control closures, and two 55-hour full weekend closures of eastbound and westbound SR-12 between SR-160 and I-5 as the Potato Slough Bridge is jacked (raised) for the replacement and testing of new bridge bearing pads.
The first 55-hour full highway closure is scheduled to start at 9:00 p.m. on Friday, June 24, through 4:00 a.m. on Monday, June 27, 2022. Future advisories will include the next 55-hour planned closure dates.

Take SR-160 north to Walnut Grove Road to I-5
