The project started in February 2021, and on Dec. 11, 2021, was suspended due to environmental regulations for in-creek work.
There is a full off-ramp closure of the Central San Rafael exit on US-101 northbound from Tuesday, September 20, through Thursday, September 22 from 11 p.m. until 7 a.m. each day due to drainage and curb ramp work.

TRAFFIC ADVISORY
A lane closure is scheduled from Monday, September 19 through Friday, September 23 starting at 9 p.m. Upon exiting the Central San Rafael off-ramp, one lane (out of three) will be closed during construction; the other two lanes will remain open at all times.
All work is dependent on weather. Rain is forecast for Sunday and Monday in Marin County.
Work on the intersection improvements started in May 2022 while in-creek work resumed in June 2022 to complete the western portion of the new bridge and switch to the final traffic configuration. The deck of the western portion of the new bridge and the bridge approach slab have been completed. The project is expected to be completed as early as the fall of 2022.
Changeable message and directional signs will be in place to assist motorists traveling in the area. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) will be on-site during the closures.
Please drive with caution. Slow for the Cone Zone and Be Work Zone Alert. Caltrans thanks motorists for their patience while we work to maintain our state’s highways, bridges, and tunnels.
