Caltrans has scheduled temporary closures of Gilman Street in Berkeley between Second Street and Fourth Street near the Interstate 80 Gilman interchange between August 15 and 17, 2024. During these times, project improvements will be made on Gilman including curb and gutter modifications. Details on the closure schedule include:

• Thursday, August 15: Close at 7 p.m., reopen at 6 a.m. the next morning;
• Friday, August 16: Close at 7 p.m., remain closed until 5 p.m. the next day; and
• Saturday, August 17: Reopen at 5 p.m.

The recently-opened Gilman Street pedestrian overcrossing will remain open and all other elements of the interchange will be unchanged. The temporary roundabout on Gilman Street west of the Second Street intersection will remain in place.

Pedestrians will not be allowed to cross under the I-80 bridge during this phase of construction; they should use the newly opened pedestrian overcrossing on the south side of the interchange.

While the overcrossing will be open to the public, pedestrians, cyclists and anyone using the roundabout should use caution, as it is in an active construction zone. Proper signs and pavement delineation, as well as portable changeable message signs, will be installed for guidance. Every effort will be made to minimize inconvenience to the traveling public.
