Join the STA and Caltrans District 4 to learn more about the I-80 Six Bridge Project in Vallejo

Caltrans has scheduled to begin work on increasing the vertical clearance on six bridges that cross over Interstate 80 (I-80) in the City of Vallejo just north of the Carquinez Bridge.

The six bridges do not meet the current vertical clearance design standard of 16 feet 6 inches. Caltrans will increase the vertical clearance at each bridge one at a time, starting with Springs Road. The work will take about four months per bridge. A complete 4-month closure of Springs Road at I-80
is anticipated to start sometime in late Fall 2020.

The public hearing will provide information on the increased service to SolanoExpress and the restoration of passenger fare collection. SolanoExpress is a four-route transit system that is managed by the STA. The SolanoExpress lines that will be impacted include the following routes: Blue, GreenExpress, and the Yellow Line.

Moreover, the collection of passenger fares will be reinstated on June 15, 2020.

Interested parties may provide input on the proposed SolanoExpress Partial Service Restoration Plan by submitting written comments and/or speaking at the public hearing.
