 Traffic Alert: State Route 12 Closure
9:00 PM Friday, June 24 to 4:00 AM Monday, June 27
Caltrans is continuing work on a project to replace the bearing pads of the State Route 12 (SR-12) Potato Slough Bridge located near the Tower Park & Terminous communities, west of Interstate 5 (I-5) in San Joaquin County.
This project will require overnight one-way traffic control closures, and two 55-hour full weekend closures of eastbound and westbound SR-12 between SR-160 and I-5 as the Potato Slough Bridge is jacked (raised) for the replacement and testing of new bridge bearing pads.
