Dumbarton Bridge Closure: Repaving Efforts to Enhance Commuter Safety and Comfort In upcoming weeks, commuters in the Bay Area will need to plan their travel routes accordingly as the eastbound direction of the Dumbarton Bridge (State Route 84) is set to be closed for four consecutive nights. Caltrans has scheduled this closure to facilitate repaving efforts, ultimately improving the quality of the bridge surface and enhancing the safety and comfort of motorists. Between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., starting from October 31 and continuing through November 1 to November 3, the Dumbarton Bridge’s eastbound direction will be completely closed. However, it’s important to note that the westbound direction will remain open, allowing for uninterrupted flow of traffic in that direction. The Dumbarton Bridge serves as a vital link between the City of Menlo Park in San Mateo County and the City of Fremont in Alameda County. By temporarily closing the eastbound direction, Caltrans aims to carry out extensive repaving work on the bridge, resulting in a smoother and safer ride for all motorists who rely on this vital connection. During the closure, alternative routes have been established to minimize disruptions and provide viable options for commuters. Motorists traveling from San Francisco and San Mateo and heading to the East Bay can take the San Mateo Bridge (State Route 92) from the City of San Mateo to Hayward. This alternative route will help alleviate congestion and ensure a smooth journey for those venturing to the East Bay. For those traveling to Milpitas or Fremont from the South Bay, Calaveras Boulevard (State Route 237) offers a convenient detour. By following this route, motorists can proceed with their planned journeys, reaching their destinations with minimal inconvenience. We understand that disruptions and changes to regular travel patterns can be inconvenient and frustrating. However, it is essential to prioritize the maintenance and improvement of infrastructure to ensure the safety and well-being of all commuters. The Dumbarton Bridge repaving project demonstrates Caltrans’ commitment to enhancing transportation systems, providing a more efficient and enjoyable experience for everyone. As this closure unfolds, we encourage all commuters to plan ahead, allowing for extra travel time and exploring the provided alternative routes. Caltrans and the construction teams are working diligently to complete the repaving project as quickly and efficiently as possible, minimizing disruptions and ensuring a seamless return to regular traffic flow.
