Caltrans is working on the bridges one at a time, starting with Springs Road, followed by Magazine Street, Benicia Road, Georgia Street, Tennessee Street and Redwood Street, respectively.

A hotline has been set up for the traveling public and residents living in Vallejo to learn about the most up-to-date information about the project.
