Bay Area and San Diego roadwork, diesel prices and spot rates

Caltrans announced on October 30 that work in San Mateo will affect ramps and lanes on SR-92 and US-101. The table lists work beginning on the nights of November 2 and 5, in California local time.

For northbound US-101 traffic bound for E. Hillsdale Boulevard, the official detour uses eastbound SR-92, the Edgewater Boulevard/Mariners Island Boulevard exit, and southbound Edgewater Boulevard. Work is weather dependent.

Caltrans announced two sets of connector work leading to SR-52 last week. The table lists only periods that have not begun at publication; the announced October 29 and November 1 overnight periods have ended.

Southbound SR-67 traffic may use westbound I-8, northbound SR-125 and the SR-52 connectors. The official detour for southbound I-5 uses the Clairemont Drive exit, a left onto Clairemont Drive, another left onto northbound I-5, and the connector to eastbound SR-52.

Caltrans updated the Mare Island–Sears Point project on October 29. A temporary traffic configuration west of Vallejo includes a 45 mph speed limit, and the eastbound Walnut Avenue exit for Mare Island is closed.

The announcement says further closures will be scheduled in November, with specific dates and times to be announced.

EIA data released on October 27 show that California’s average retail on-highway diesel price, including taxes, fell on October 26 compared with the previous week, while the U.S. average rose. The U.S. series covers the contiguous states and excludes Alaska and Hawaii.

DAT’s public weekly indicators show flatbed spot rates up 4.17%, van unchanged and reefer up 0.28% for October 26–November 1 compared with the previous week. The table uses week-over-week indicators against October 19–25.
