Emergency road work is scheduled to take place on Bethel Island Road near Canal Road, according to the Contra Costa County Public Works Department. The repairs will begin on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, and are expected to continue through Monday, January 12, 2026. Work hours are set from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays and dependent on weather conditions.
Traffic control measures will be put in place to ensure the safety of drivers and cyclists passing through the area. Electronic message boards will provide updates about the ongoing work. A temporary lane closure is planned, which may result in delays of up to 45 minutes for road users.
