Over the next 18 months, that stretch of I-80 will have its roadway repaired and repaved, and its median barriers upgraded. Carpool lanes will be built in both directions between Red Top Road and Air Base Parkway, a truck climbing lane will be installed on Highway 12 nearing I-80, assorted overpasses and on- and off-ramps will be improved and traffic signals and metering lights will be installed in some locations.
But the I-80 pavement rehabilitation - which will cost about $100 million - is just a fraction of the rehabilitation work that Bay Area highways need. As most drivers know, getting around the region can be a jarring experience.
