What: A groundbreaking ceremony celebrating the commencement of construction of a truck scales to replace the existing outdated facility which has been in operation since 1958. The new truck scales facility will be relocated 0.7 mile east from its current location and will provide a new off-ramp connection and new entrance ramp connection to/from Westbound I-80. Direct access to the facility will also be provided from Westbound State Route 12 (East). The new facility will have the capacity to inspect up to 1000 trucks per hour passing the facility 24 hours per day, seven days a week.

Where: In the current Eastbound Interstate-80 truck scales located at 3950 Interstate-80 .

When:  Friday, August 15, 2025; 10:00 AM – Noon

Who:  Caltrans and the Solano Transportation Authority (STA).

Speakers:

  • Solano County Supervisor, District 5……………..Mitch Mashburn
  • California Highway Patrol Deputy Commissioner……………..Ezery Beauchamp
  • Caltrans Bay Area District Director, Design……………..Wajahat Nyaz

Why: : The existing facility is outdated, under capacity, and does not include state of the art technology required for truck inspections today. Existing access from I-80 consists of short on and off ramps, resulting in truck traffic backing up onto I-80 and increasing the potential for rear-end accidents. During peak traffic periods experienced several times per week, the facility is closed to incoming trucks to prevent this queuing.

Construction is slated to begin in late August 2025 with completion scheduled in December 2029.
