Starting Friday, November 3, a significant portion of southbound I-680 in Pleasanton will be closed for roadwork until Monday, November 6. As per the City of Dublin, the closure will impact the section between the I-580/I-680 connector to Koopman Road.

The California State Agency responsible for highways, Caltrans, is initiating this work to replace a worn-out portion of the roadway. It was announced that this weekend operation should minimize the total number of nightly closures ordinarily required for a project of this scale. However, conditions such as inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances may force rescheduling of the closure, which will be communicated to the public.

While construction is underway, northbound traffic will not be disturbed, and closure will strictly be limited to southbound lanes. Portable changeable messages will be located strategically ahead of the closure and will stay in place throughout the weekend to alert drivers.

This construction will mitigate traffic issues and facilitate improved commuting for residents and visitors in Pleasanton.

As infrastructure renewal progresses, it's imperative for residents to remain updated and adjust accordingly by following official news releases about the closures or modifying personal travel plans.

Affected commuters should remain aware of this closure and make necessary adaptations to their travel plans while being patient about the progress of work aiming to improve the safety and efficiency of the area's transport network.
