Starting Friday night, a 56-hour closure will be happening along a major stretch of northbound State Route 87, a major artery that connects drivers to other major highways.
SR-87 is one of the most important stretches of freeway in the South Bay.Taking drivers through San Jose's downtown and connecting to other highways like I-280, SR-85 and SR-17.That's where the "State Route 87 Road Rehabilitation project" comes in.
While the $69 million project will bring in those necessary repairs, it's going to take time. Caltrans, in partnership with VTA and the City of San Jose have condensed much of the work into two 56-hour weekends.We're going to be saving time, potentially three months by doing the work during this full weekend. It's also going to reduce all the overnight nighttime lane closures and nighttime work that can impact the community.
Signage with detour information will be on display. Caltrans still recommends giving yourself plenty of time to get destinations while the weekend work is finished.
