San Francisco drivers are advised to prepare for a major weekend closure on the northbound US-101 connector to the Central Freeway. The closure will take place from Friday, October 4, at 10 PM to Monday, October 7, at 5 AM as crews conduct emergency barrier repairs following previous vehicle collisions.
During this time, all lanes of the connector will be shut down, causing significant disruptions. Motorists traveling northbound from San Jose are urged to follow these detour instructions:
- Take eastbound I-80 to the 7th Street offramp.
- Turn left onto 7th Street, traveling under the freeway.
- Turn left to access the 7th Street onramp back to US-101.
Drivers should expect heavy traffic and significant delays on these detour routes, although I-80 routes will remain unaffected.
In light of the expected congestion, public transportation options are encouraged for those needing to travel during the closure.
