Just a little before 5 p. M. Instead of Tuesday Morning at 5 a. M, which is excellent for the commute. This this route handles about 50,000 vehicles per day and Labor Day Weekend coming back is heavily trafficked. Caltrans says crews worked nonstop since the westbound lanes shut down at 9 p. M. Thursday. A big resurfacing project that stretched some three miles. We were able to do it because we had crews working around the clock, 12 hour shifts in order to get the work. Thats awesome. Theyre working. Theyre kicking butt. Jessica ray is a vallejo. Was happy to hear about the early opening. She says her husband was caught in the detour delays all weekend. I think hes been like at least 20 minutes late to work each day. Other drivers were also relieved that the drive will be shorter and smoother. I am living in vallejo. What was that . Yeah, i am living in vallejo. My company is in benicia.

My gramps was a tough dude, very proud. Caltrans says they appreciate everyones patience and understanding during the holiday closure. This particular paving project is able to last up to 40 years because its a continuous concrete pour. So we wont be back here for a while. All right. And back here live, you can see those beautiful lights on the zampa span of the carquinas bridge. Again they had to replace those because of damage due to a fire some three years ago. Now there is one note. They finished this whole span of i80, but district three, which is from sacramento to the nevada border, well, there are about five projects that need to be completed there. So anyone heading to tahoe or up to truckee be prepared because there are still some Construction Projects to be done on i80 a little bit further down the road.
