“California Highway Connector Ramp Closure: Weekend Detour for Drivers”
San Francisco drivers should be prepared for a significant weekend closure on the northbound US-101 connector to the Central Freeway. The closure is scheduled to begin on Friday, October 4, at 10 p.m. and will last until Monday, October 7, at 5 a.m. as crews perform emergency barrier repairs following previous vehicle collisions.
During this period, all lanes of the connector will be closed, leading to major disruptions. Motorists traveling northbound from San Jose are advised to use the following detour:
- Take eastbound I-80 to the 7th Street offramp.
- Turn left onto 7th Street, traveling under the freeway.
- Turn left again to access the 7th Street onramp back to US-101.
Drivers should anticipate heavy traffic and significant delays along these detour routes, although I-80 will not be affected by the closure.
Due to the expected congestion, those traveling during the closure are encouraged to consider public transportation options.
