PG&E has requested Caltrans' approval for a nighttime closure of the W/B Route 4 Ramps at Loveridge Road and California Avenue. The closure is scheduled for the night of Thursday, May 20, 2010 beginning at 10:00 p.m. with the reopening of the ramp not later than 5:00 a.m. the morning of Friday May 21st. PG&E crews will remove the foundation of an abandoned electric transmission tower in the proximate area of the W/B/ Route 4 Ramps.
PG&E will be posting detours to guide traffic around the work area. Traffic on W/B Route 4 will be detoured from the W/B off-ramp at Loveridge Road to the W/B off-ramp near Harbor Street. Traffic will be detoured from the W/B on-ramp at Loveridge Road to the W/B on-ramp at Railroad Avenue. Loveridge Road will remain open.
The utility abandonment is one in a series of stages of work to clear the right-of-way for the next phase of highway widening.
