Highway 37 reopens ahead of schedule

Caltrans has reopened state Highway 37 in Solano and Sonoma counties after crews completed roadwork days ahead of schedule.

Since Friday night, major maintenance and paving projects closed Highway 37 between state Highway 29 in Solano County and state Highway 121 in Sonoma County, Caltrans spokesman Vince Jacala said.

The projects were expected to continue until 5 a.m. on Monday, but all lanes reopened Saturday as of 8 p.m., Jacala said.

Jacala said significant traffic was reported in American Canyon this morning, which cuts through the city, as a result of the detour.

The highway will close again at 10 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 26 until 5 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 29, according to Caltrans.

Additionally, five weeknight closures will occur from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night between Monday, Sept. 29 and Friday, Oct. 3, Caltrans officials said.

Jacala said motorists should follow detour signs and expect delays.
