Plus, why loud motorcycles are preferable for one Bay Area driver.
Q: Why are there suddenly so many semis and other large vehicles on Highway 17 through the Los Gatos mountains? Weren’t they restricted, other than the local bus designated for that route?A: There are only a few restrictions on truck traffic here. Trucks are limited to 35 to 50 mph and must stay in the right lane, except to pass. Truck traffic is increasing, overall, and also in this area.
The closures will take place between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. and are necessary so that workers can safely remove trees and vegetation ahead of construction of the southbound Interstate 680 express lane and pavement rehabilitation. That project involves building a new express lane on southbound Interstate 680 which will stretch from Highway 84 to Alcosta Boulevard in San Ramon. The express lane will close the gap between existing and in-process express lanes. It will also rehabilitate the pavement to provide a smoother road surface.
