Tracking Id: RINTP2724235081

Description:

As per reports, the San Ramon Road off-ramp on northbound Highway 101 will be temporarily closed from Tuesday (13 May) through Thursday (15 May) to facilitate roadway paving at the intersection of El Camino Real and the San Ramon Road off-ramp.

• The closure is necessary to support ongoing infrastructure improvements under the Lift Station 13 and Force Main Sewer Project.
• The northbound Highway 101 on-ramp at this location will remain open during the construction period. El Camino Real will also remain operational but will be reduced to one lane with flaggers controlling the flow of traffic.
• To support traffic flow, drivers are advised to use the designated detour via the northbound Highway 101 Del Rio Road off-ramp. Directional and electronic message signs will be installed to clearly mark the detour route.

Impact:

• Motorists travelling on El Camino Real may anticipate significant delays due to the lane reduction and active traffic control measures.
• Reduced lane capacity on El Camino Real and the closure of the off-ramp is likely to lead to traffic slowdowns, particularly during peak commuting hours.
• Commuters may experience significant delays while navigating the area due to detours and lane restrictions. Adjacent local roads may experience higher traffic volumes as motorists seek alternative routes.
• While businesses remain accessible, customers and deliveries may face difficulties entering the area promptly due to traffic delays and detour navigation.

Recommendations:

• Advised to use the northbound Highway 101 Del Rio Road off-ramp as an alternate route. Advised to allow additional travel time and monitor traffic updates before departure.
• Recommended to follow all directional signage and traffic flagger instructions to ensure safety and traffic flow.
• Advised to notify customers and delivery services in advance about the construction schedule and best access routes.
