Caltrans is raising sections of Highway 37 near Mare Island by approximately three feet to mitigate flood risks ahead of potential El Niño storms. This work requires a 55-hour closure of the highway in both directions between Mare Island and Sears Point, scheduled to begin next Friday night and reopen on Monday, October 26. The project involves grading the asphalt and adding concrete before paving over the route.
