Vasco Road will be closed from the evening of Oct. 29 through the morning of Nov. 2 to allow for the safe completion of the Vasco Road Safety Project. The project includes the construction of a new and realigned roadway segment.

During the closure, construction crews will connect the new roadway with the existing roadway at the northern and southern ends, and remove a large rock outcropping.

Vasco Road will be closed from 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29 until 6 a.m. Monday, Nov. 2. The closure encompasses the segment north of the Republic Landfill Drive to south of the entrance to the Los Vaqueros Reservoir. The suggested alternative route for northbound traffic is to take I-580 east toward Tracy for 8.8 miles, merge into eastbound I-205, continue for 2.4 miles, exit at Mountain House Parkway, continue northbound for 2.2 miles, turn left onto Byron Road/Highway, continue for 8.4 miles, turn left onto Camino Diablo Road, and in 2.0 miles turn right onto Vasco Road.

For southbound Vasco Road traffic, turn left onto Camino Diablo Road, continue for 2.0 miles, turn right onto Byron Highway/Road, continue for 8.4 miles, turn right onto Mountain House Parkway, continue for 2.2 miles, enter I-205 westbound, and in 2.4 miles merge with I-580 westbound, which connects with Vasco Road in 8.8 miles.
