The previously scheduled night work associated with the closure of the southbound ramp from Highway 101 to Highway 1 has been postponed until further notice.

We apologize for the change in schedule. We will post information on this page and send an e-mail notice when a new date for this closure and night work is scheduled.

Please be aware that on Friday, April 23 at 10:00 p.m. through Saturday, April 24 at 10:00 a.m. there will be extensive construction in order to shift southbound traffic to the temporary Ruckman Bridge.

This work will include asphalt grinding and demolition, paving, placement of traffic barriers (K-rail), and striping. This activity is expected to be noisy and will require the use of heavy equipment and back-up beepers. Lights will be directed away from homes.

Please note the contractor will make every effort to expedite the work and complete the traffic tie-in as quickly as possible.
