There Goes The Commute: I-680 To Get A Makeover In 2011

The Contra Costa Times reports that in 2011 Caltrans will start a $49.8 million project to rehabilitate Interstate 680 in southern Walnut Creek and the San Ramon Valley. The project also will extend the I-680 carpool lane from Rudgear Road in Alamo to Livorna Road in Walnut Creek. In San Ramon and some Danville areas, crews will remove the old concrete slabs and replace them with premade ones.
Ramps, bridges and overpasses also will be improved. So, all in all, get ready for greater traffic, detours and massive delays as Bay Cities Paving and Grading Inc. of Concord, the winning lowest bidder, gets to work.
