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.

Single lane controls- Vasco Rd (Alameda) Sept 21-23

Vasco Road will be under single lane controls between the hours of 8am and 5pm on September 21, 22 and 23. Traffic will be subject to 30 minute delays. The work causing the delays occurs on the Alameda County job, south of the County line on Vasco Road. The contractor will be reconstructing the existing shoulder area directly adjacent to traffic lanes causing the need to shut down an entire lane (only one lane open to handle both directions of traffic). The message boards at either end of the work have been changed to notify road users of this upcoming lane closure and 30 min delay to traffic.
