The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has been making steady progress on the 101 NB Central San Rafael Off-Ramp Bridge Replacement project and the next phase of work will require modifications to the off ramp configuration in order to remove the existing bridge and install piles. Starting Sunday, June 21 through July 2021, the 101 NB Central San Rafael exit will have a reduction in travel lanes from 3 lanes down to 2 lanes. Please see enclosed map for reference. This next phase of work will require a single night closure for the installation of striping and other associated bridge deck work. Starting Sunday, June 20th at 9:00 pm, Caltrans will be closing the entire off-ramp of the 101 NB Central San Rafael exit and will reopen no later than 8:00 a.m. of Monday, June 21st.
Motorists are advised to drive with caution and follow all posted directional signs. Traffic advisories and detour routing options will be utilized to keep the public and all motorists updated, safe, and thoroughly informed. Residents and businesses may temporarily experience increased noise levels during this operation.
