Hello Vallejo!
ANDREW'S ANNOUNCEMENTS
A MESSAGE FROM THE CITY MANAGER
As we kick off the month of May, I’d like to recognize and express appreciation to the parents and caregivers who are doing a great job raising their children in Vallejo. City of Vallejo staff that are parents and caregivers celebrated national Take Your Child to Work Day last week. You’ll see an article and photos in this Vallejo Weekly.
We also celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and National Military Appreciation Month in May. You’ll find many community events to support and celebrate our cultural diversity, such as last weekend’s Dia Del Nino, this weekend’s Cinco De Mayo, and Pista Sa Nayon and Juneteenth in June.
This month, the City Council will provide direction on and advance many key efforts to assist the unhoused, such as the Navigation Center that will offer 125 shelter beds and
the Broadway Project that will provide 47 permanent supportive units. You can find more information in the Staff Briefs in this edition of the Weekly regarding the resources being offered to the unhoused during encampment cleanups, which resumed this week.
Our partnerships with Solano Transportation Authority and Caltrans remain strong as significant road and highway projects take place this summer. Continue to check the Vallejo Weekly for updates on construction schedules and improvements coming soon to your neighborhood.
With appreciation,
Andrew Murray Vallejo City Manager

State Route 37/Fairgrounds Drive Interchange
Vallejo Construction Shifts into Gear - May 2025
Watch for Traffic Lane Shifts/Overnight Ramp Closures
The Solano Transportation Authority (STA), in close coordination with its transportation partner, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), has started construction work on the new State Route 37 (SR 37)/Fairgrounds Drive Interchange Project in Vallejo. The interchange improvement project will enhance motorist safety and improve bicycle and pedestrian access with construction of a new divergent diamond interchange. This is the first-ever divergent diamond interchange (DDI) constructed in the Bay Area and only the second-ever constructed on a major highway in California.
What to Expect During Initial Construction Work
Construction at SR 37 and Fairgrounds Drive recently started construction in April 2025. The site is near the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Theme Park and the Solano County Fairgrounds. Major public impacts to SR 37 and Fairgrounds Drive are scheduled to start in May 2025. In the coming weeks, motorists will begin to see lane traffic shifts, overnight ramp closures, tree removal, signage installation, and various temporary lane closures.
The following construction-related activities are set to happen starting in May 2025.
• Motorists on Fairgrounds Drive at SR 37 should watch for temporary traffic lane shifts.
• Eastbound on and off ramps at SR 37/Fairgrounds Drive will be closed overnight with detours. Closures are scheduled from 10:00 PM until 5:00 AM.
• The westbound off-ramp from SR 37 to Fairgrounds Drive will be closed nightly from 11:00 PM – 5:00 AM.
• The SolTrans bus stop at the on-ramp to Westbound SR 37 will be temporarily relocated a few feet away. Motorists should drive with caution in construction zones and expect travel delays. All work is weather dependent. For general questions, please email our project team at: SR37-FairgroundsPIO@portal3.pbid.com.
STA and Caltrans will provide additional project details as soon as information becomes available.
STA and Caltrans thank the motoring public for its patience and understanding as we work to improve and maintain our state’s highways.
