PG&E has requested Caltrans' approval for nighttime closures of the W/B Route 4 Ramps at Loveridge Road and California Avenue on three dates in April 2010. The closures are scheduled for the nights of 4/14, 4/15, and 4/21 from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. During the same periods of time, the Loveridge Road over-crossing will be closed between California Avenue and the E/B Route 4 Ramps.

The closures on 4/14 and 4/15 will allow PG&E to string new conductors from the recently installed tube steel poles over and across Loveridge Road and the W/B Route 4 Ramps.

On the night of 4/21, PG&E crews will remove the existing overhead cables from the old steel lattice towers where the existing cables cross Loveridge Road and the W/B/ Route 4 Ramps.

PG&E will be posting detours to guide traffic around the work area. Traffic will be detoured from the W/B on-ramp at Loveridge Road to the W/B on-ramp at Railroad Avenue. Traffic on W/B Route 4 will be detoured from the W/B off-ramp at Loveridge Road to the W/B off-ramp near Harbor Street. The northbound / southbound traffic on Loveridge Road will be detoured over the local roadway network via Leland Road, Harbor Street, and California Avenue.

The overhead utility relocation is one in a series of stages of work to clear the right-of-way for the next phase of highway widening.
