Driveway and Sidewalk Work Along San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley and Albany Through Late 2024

Published: Aug 28, 2024

Berkeley / Alameda County ― Caltrans has scheduled driveway and sidewalk work along San Pablo Avenue (State Route 123) through late 2024.

The work started on San Pablo Avenue at Ashby and is moving in a northward direction. The active work area will be closed to pedestrian traffic.

When work is taking place on business driveways, the work will start at midnight to minimize disruption to businesses. Work in residential areas will take place between 6:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. so as not to disturb residents' sleep.

Work has started in Berkeley and is moving northward toward Albany. Concrete work is estimated to reach Albany in September 2024.

Every effort will be made to keep noise and disruption at minimum, but residents and businesses should expect some noise from construction. Caltrans thanks the public for your patience. The purpose of the new driveways and sidewalks is to reduce hazards and increase comfort for disabled pedestrians.

This operation is part of work on sidewalks and driveways along San Pablo Avenue (State Route 123) between Ashby Avenue in Berkeley and Brighton Avenue in Albany to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

Only those sidewalks and driveways not in compliance with the ADA will be affected.

All active work zones will be in one side of the roadway. The roadway is two lanes in each direction. The right-hand lane will be closed during the working hours. The left-hand lane will be open to accommodate traffic.

While work may occur at multiple locations, all work will be on the same side.

Parking will be restricted in the work areas, with signs in place to inform motorists of the restrictions.
