Eastbound State Route 37 Closes Overnight November 16 for Flood-Prone Segment Repairs
Caltrans said in a November 10 updated advisory that eastbound State Route 37 will close overnight on Monday, November 16, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning, between Sears Point and Mare Island in Vallejo, while the westbound side remains open to traffic.
The segment is a low-lying stretch of SR-37 that floods in the storm season and sometimes has to be closed outright. Caltrans says the overnight closure is part of its emergency preparedness for El Nino storm season: crews will shift K-rail and apply temporary striping for the next stage of work on the flood-prone segment. All work is weather dependent.
A detour is posted: eastbound motorists turn left on SR-121, continue on SR-12/SR-121 (the Carneros Highway), turn right on SR-12/SR-29 and take the connector loop back to eastbound SR-37. Caltrans advises drivers to slow down through the construction zone, expect delays and allow extra travel time.
State Route 37 runs along the northern shore of San Pablo Bay between Novato and Vallejo and is a key North Bay commuter and freight link; fixing its flood-prone segments is part of the corridor's long-running improvement program. Real-time conditions are on Caltrans QuickMap, with project details on the SR-37 paving project site.
