Highway 101 and Old Redwood Highway:

Caltrans has scheduled lane, ramp, and full freeway closures associated with the Old Redwood Highway Interchange project in Petaluma.

Northbound U.S. 101 Ramp Closure:

Feb. 7, Caltrans will switch traffic to the new bridge at Old Redwood Highway/Petaluma Boulevard North Interchange and close the old bridge.  When this new bridge is opened, the northbound diagonal on-ramp from westbound Old Redwood Highway will be closed for approximately four to six months.  This closure is necessary to build a new on-ramp that will connect to the realigned roadway.

  • During this on-ramp closure, westbound traffic on Old Redwood Highway will turn left at a temporary traffic signal and use the existing northbound U.S. 101 loop on-ramp.
  • Eastbound traffic will use the existing loop on-ramp to travel north on U.S. 101.
  • One lane will remain open in each direction for through traffic.
  • This ramp closure is expected to cause delays and additional time should be allowed when traveling through the area.

Southbound U.S. 101 Ramp Closure:

The southbound diagonal on-ramp from Petaluma Boulevard North to U.S. 101 is also scheduled to be closed on Friday night, Feb. 7. This ramp will be closed from four to six months while Caltrans builds a new on-ramp to connect to the realigned roadway.

  • During this on-ramp closure, eastbound traffic on Petaluma Blvd. North will turn left at a traffic signal and use the existing northbound U.S. 101 loop on-ramp.
  • Westbound traffic from Old Redwood Highway will continue to use the existing loop on-ramp to travel to southbound U.S. 101.
  • One lane will remain open in each direction for through traffic.
  • This ramp closure is expected to cause delays and additional time should be allowed when traveling through the area.
