Eastbound I-80 reopens ahead of schedule in East Bay, CHP says

TURNING TO MAJOR ROADWAY UPGRADES. EASTBOUND INTERSTATE 80 HAS REOPENED. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE DETOURS WERE IN PLACE OVER THE WEEKEND AND YOU CAN SEE THEM MARKED IN GREEN AND THE RED YOU SEE ON THE MAP IS THE STRETCH OF ROAD OPENED BACK UP. DRIVERS TRIED TO AVOID THE AREA WHERE THE WORK WAS DONE AND OFFICIALS SAY TRAFFIC WENT DOWN 50% IN THIS AREA. CRUISE REPLACED THREE MILES OF PAVEMENT WITH REINFORCED CONCRETE. >> YOU WILL HAVE A SMOOTH RIDE WHEN YOU GET ON THIS. THERE WILL BE NO JOINTS IN THE CONCRETE. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO JOINTS, IT WILL LAST LONGER. WE ARE LOOKING AT A POSSIBLE 40 YEAR LIFESPAN. KUMASI: CALTRANS SAYS IT WILL TAKE A WHOLE WEEKEND TO REPAVE ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC.
