The Vasco Rd Safety Improvements Project - Phase 1 is designed to improve the safety of approximately 1 mile of Vasco Rd between the cities of Brentwood and Livermore. This stretch of twisting Vasco Rd has heavy, fast moving traffic and a history of serious injury accidents. The project consists of installing a concrete median barrier along the 1 mile project limits and widening the southbound pavement to provide a truck climbing lane, thereby eliminating the gap in the existing truck climbing lanes along Vasco Rd. To accommodate these safety improvements, 6 retaining walls, storm drains, wildlife crossings, and a bridge widening will be constructed. This project is anticipated to take 1.5 yrs (2 construction seasons) to complete, anticipated in December 2011. Check out this blog from time to time to see updates on construction progress and facts about the project.

August 17 and 18 single lane controls on Vasco Rd

On August 17 and 18 Vasco Road will be under single lane controls so that the Contractor, Teichert Construction, can perform crack sealing on the existing asphalt concrete pavement. This work is needed to prolong the life of the existing pavement section and precedes an asphalt concrete overlay scheduled for later in August. Expect up to 20 minutes of delay when traveling on Vasco Road through the project area during these dates.
