Planned East Bay Freeway On-Ramp Closure Canceled Friday

Caltrans called off the closure of the Stone Valley Road on-ramp to southbound I-680 in Danville.

Published on Feb. 13, 2026

Caltrans has canceled the planned full closure of the Stone Valley Road on-ramp to southbound I-680 in Danville that was scheduled for Friday, February 13 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The reason for the cancelation was not specified. However, Caltrans has closed the El Cerro on-ramp to southbound I-680 several times over the past few weeks, and intermittent closures are expected to continue until June.

Why it matters

Freeway on-ramp closures can cause significant traffic disruptions for commuters in the East Bay, so the cancelation of this planned closure will come as a relief to local drivers. However, the ongoing closures of other nearby on-ramps suggest that Caltrans is still working on infrastructure projects in the area that require periodic access restrictions.
