During the weekend closure, the Appian Way off-ramps from Interstate 80 will be closed. Detours route southbound Appian Way traffic bound for eastbound I-80 via westbound I-80 and the Richmond Parkway/Fitzgerald Drive exit, and eastbound I-80 traffic bound for northbound Appian Way via Pinole Valley Road and San Pablo Avenue.
