The Carquinez Bridge's westbound deck in Vallejo underwent a weekend closure for essential maintenance. This closure allowed Caltrans crews to perform a variety of tasks to ensure the bridge's integrity and safety for commuters.
The primary reason for the closure was repaving of the westbound deck.
Caltrans maintenance crews conducted this work in Vallejo, specifically from the bridge's foot to Highway 780.
In addition to repaving, crews performed other work-like maintenance activities.
These activities included vegetation control to manage plant growth around the bridge area.
Litter and graffiti clean-up were also integral parts of the maintenance operations.
The goal of these comprehensive tasks was to address various needs of the bridge infrastructure and its surrounding environment.
The closure was scheduled to conclude after the weekend, allowing for the resumption of normal traffic flow.
