State Route 4 Connector Ramp Opens Saturday

Willow on-ramp expected to close Monday night.

Caltrans said Friday it will open the connector ramp from State Route 4 to eastbound Interstate-80 Saturday morning.

The eastbound ramp was closed in April for construction related to the Interstate 80 Eastbound High Occupancy Vehicle lane extension project intended to extend the HOV lane from SR 4 to the Carquinez Bridge.

At 8 p.m. Monday, the eastbound Interstate-80 Willow Avenue ramp is expected to close for six to eight weeks, with weather permitting, in order to widen the Willow Avenue undercrossing, Caltrans said.
