PLEASANTON — A portion of southbound Interstate 680 in Pleasanton will be closed from Friday night to Tuesday morning in an effort to repave the roadway, according to Caltrans.
The shutdown, which coincides with the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday on Monday, affects the section of the highway between the I-580/I-680 Connector and Koopman Road. Caltrans says that portion of road is deteriorated and needs to be replaced between 9 p.m. Friday and 4 a.m. Tuesday.

Detours to avoid the closure include:
- Motorists driving west on Interstate 80 in Vacaville and Fairfield will remain on I-80 to southbound I-880.
- Motorists on southbound I-680 near the Benicia Bridge can take I-780 west to I-80 to southbound I-880.
- Motorists on southbound I-680 in Concord can take SR-4 to I-80 to southbound I-880.
- Motorists on southbound I-680 in Walnut Creek can take SR-24 to I-80 to southbound I-880.
- Motorists on Southbound I-680 in Danville take westbound I-580 to SR-238 to southbound I-880.
- Motorists on Southbound I-680 in Danville take eastbound I-580 to SR-84 to southbound I-680.
- Motorists on westbound I-580 coming from Tracy can exit onto southbound SR-84 and get back on southbound I-680 just south of Calaveras Road near Sunol.
- Motorists on westbound Sunol Boulevard can only take northbound I-680. (Access to Southbound I-680 is restricted in Pleasanton City and Sunol City)
The Saint Patrick Way, Stoneridge Drive, Bernal Avenue and Sunol boulevard on ramps to southbound I-680 will also be closed during the affected hours.
Rainy weather could force a reschedule if conditions don’t allow for crews to work on the road during the weekend, according to Caltrans. The closure, if it goes on as scheduled, will not affect any northbound traffic.
