"It's one of things we have to deal with it's not fantastic, it's nice things are getting fixed," said driver Chris Hirahara.
Drivers are dealing with some detour delays and traffic back-ups in SoMa as Caltrans continues its work on Eastbound I-80 thru San Francisco, which forced weekend closure on the skyway.
"It's all over the news I knew about it. I have a commitment, I'm going to the ballet I factored extra time, It's not that bad," said driver Alisa Yee.
Caltrans says the giant 1.6 mile pavement resurfacing project is moving forward, on schedule.
"There's still a lot of work to do, we still want to make sure the public and motorists stay out of the area, progress has been made quite well," said Caltrans spokesperson, Lori Shepherd.

The agency says predictions of 'Car-megeddon' were overblown. Many drivers stayed away, and for businesses, that's a problem.
"I was like, what's going on? it's kind of slow," said Jabriel Isa.
Jabriel Isa at Heyma Yemini Coffee Shop on Ninth Street says his usual weekend crowd are no shows, likely due to road work alerts and detours.
"Today is less foot traffic, less cars, less orders too," said Isa.
"Even on the street, it's been like nobody," said Max Freeborn.
Max Freeborn at Mike's Bikes on Howard Street says business is down about 70 percent this weekend, the cycle showroom practically empty.
"On a sunny weekend, it's usually packed and busy. It'll be three of us working nonstop, today it's been nothing," Freeborn said.

Caltrans says so far, no local businesses have reached out.
"In terms of business, we haven't heard of any impacts on business, we have a hotline for the public to get in touch with us if they have issues," said Shepherd.
Caltrans says it is expected to finish the roadwork and reopen by 6 a.m. Monday.
Westbound lanes could be repaved sometime next fall, the agency has not announced a date.
