Today marks the 20 Year Anniversary of this incredible, world class facility and I’m honored and excited to be a part of the celebration.

Closing 87 For Construction

Caltrans is scheduled to close Northbound and Southbound SR-87 on two weekends between late September 2023 and mid-October 2023. During the 56-hour highway closures, Caltrans will perform major pavement repair work on northbound and southbound SR-87

in Santa Clara County. One traffic direction on SR-87 will be worked on at a time. Detours will be in effect. All work is weather and conditions dependent.

WHY THE WORK IS NEEDED?

The purpose of the project is to improve ride quality, enhance safety,

and extend the service life of the pavement. These full weekend

closures are necessary for worker and public safety during the work.

Caltrans will perform major pavement rehabilitation on the two center

tra c lanes in both the northbound and southbound directions of

SR-87. The roadway has become worn and in need of major repairs

due to decades of high traffic use.


CLOSURE WILL START FRIDAYS AFTER 9 P.M. AND CONCLUDE

ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAYS NO LATER THAN 5 A.M.

These closures will allow for concrete pavement in tra c lanes to be

replaced. These closures will shorten the duration of the project by

providing improved safety and better ride quality to the public. These

series of weekend SR-87 closures will reduce the number of overnight

lane closures needed to complete this work by 2024 instead of

completing in late 2025.


(BETWEEN I-280 AND SR-85, SAN JOSE CA.)

SOUTHBOUND/NORTHBOUND CLOSURES

NORTHBOUND - WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER 22

SOUTHBOUND - WEEKEND OF OCTOBER 20


If you have a question or want to share a concern, please call our Project Hotline at (510) 286-0319. Or you can contact sr87pave@dot.ca.gov.

You can also learn more about the project on our Caltrans Bay Area project website at:
