Night Closures of State Route 4/Interstate 680 Connector Ramps Scheduled

by ECT

Martinez, CA: The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) are constructing the first phase of a multi-phased project to improve safety and help reduce congestion at the Interstate-680/State Route 4 Interchange in central Contra Costa County.

The agencies are planning closures to facilitate construction work on State Route 4 over Grayson Creek. These closures will impact State Route 4 and both of the Interstate 680 connector ramps, spanning Martinez, Pacheco, and Concord.

CCTA and Caltrans have scheduled the closures during evening hours in order to minimize impacts to the motoring public.

Work during the closures will include transporting and setting 24 girders spanning Grayson Creek for bridge construction.  In order to ensure crew and public safety during planned construction work, temporary nighttime freeway closures in both directions of the State Route 4 and Interstate 680 connector ramps will occur for a total of six nights.

About the Interstate 680/State Route 4 Interchange Improvement Project
The Interstate 680/State Route 4 Interchange Improvement Project will widen approximately four miles of State Route 4 in both directions between Morello Avenue in Martinez and State Route 242 by adding a third lane in the eastbound and westbound directions to improve on-ramp and off-ramp merging.  The project also includes widening of five structures, extending eastbound State Route 4’s carpool lane approximately two miles, installation of safety lighting, and replacement of the Grayson Creek Bridge to bring it up to current State bridge safety codes.  This segment of work in this multi-phased project will lay the groundwork for future improvements to connector ramps, improve traffic safety and enhance traffic flow.
