Hello Vallejo,
October is coming to a close and November is just around the corner. The shift in weather has brought cooler days and crisp fall evenings. Caltrans and the City’s Public Works Department have been working hard to complete paving projects throughout Vallejo. With nighttime temperatures dropping, Caltrans has switched to daytime paving so the asphalt can cure properly. This may cause some traffic delays in the coming weeks, and we appreciate your patience as we continue improving your driving experience here in Vallejo.
