Caltrans closes lanes on U.S. 101 overpasses until fall

(BCN) — Caltrans will close the eastbound lane on the U.S. Highway 101/Shiloh Road overcrossing and the Limerick Lane overcrossing at 6 p.m. May 19 to replace bridge railings.

The eastbound lane of the Shiloh Road overpass in Windsor will be closed until mid-October, Caltrans said Friday. Westbound traffic will not be affected.

The eastbound lane on the Limerick Lane overpass just south of Healdsburg will be closed until mid-summer, Caltrans said. When it reopens, the westbound lane will close as Caltrans shifts work to the north side of the overcrossing until mid-October.

The overpass railings, which also act as guardrails, must be replaced because they are worn by time and weather and don’t meet current safety standards, according to Caltrans.

The overpasses carry one traffic lane in each direction and lack shoulders, forcing Caltrans to close one lane to provide sufficient room for construction crews to replace the railings.

The lane closures on the Shiloh Road and Limerick Lane overcrossings are part of a larger project to replace bridge railing at U.S. 101 in Sonoma County.
