FYI: Major Bay Area highway closure set for Labor Day weekend

Drivers in Contra Costa and Solano counties over Labor Day weekend should expect major detours and traffic delays, as all lanes on westbound Interstate 80 will be closed for pavement repairs from Vallejo to Hercules for the entire holiday weekend, according to Caltrans.

The closure, from where I-80 meets Interstate 780 in Vallejo to where I-80 meets Highway 4 in Hercules, including the westbound section of the Carquinez Bridge, will start on Thursday after 9 p.m. and end on Tuesday at 5 a.m.

Travelers planning to cross the bay will be detoured from westbound I-80 to I-780 in Vallejo. On I-780, they will drive eastbound past Benicia to Interstate 680 toward Concord, over the Benicia-Martinez Bridge. Then they will exit onto westbound Highway 4 toward Richmond/Hercules and reenter westbound I-80 at Hercules.

Eastbound I-80, including the eastbound part of the Carquinez Bridge, will remain open.

Wish this could be done at night -- it'll create massive traffic back-ups on Westbound I-80 and eastbound I-780, 680, and Highway 4.
