CalTrans recommended that motorists coming up for Hot August Nights take either 50 or 70 instead of 80. Might not be a bad idea, think about how long traffic will be backed up when an old school bus and two VW vans break down in the one lane.

Granite construction, the contractor doing the job was supposed to open it for HAN...from what I heard.
I had to work yesterday so around 2:30 a few of us drove toward stateline and traffic was at a virtual standstill at Gold Ranch going west. We bailed out at exit 2.

I haven't seen this info here yet, so for all you weirdos in San Francisco...

"In early August 2010, Caltrans will begin a $13 million paving project that will include the resurfacing of I-80 from just west of the Pedrick Road Overcrossing outside of Dixon up to the Yolo County line near Davis. This project will also repave the ramps connecting Interstate 80 to State Route 113 up to the Yolo County line. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2010, weather permitting.

In order to complete this work, nighttime lane and ramp closures will be necessary. Motorists can expect the majority of the work to take place between 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. seven days per week. Signs notifying motorists of closures and detours will be posted to guide traffic during construction. Residents may experience some noise at night from the construction equipment."
