Alameda and Contra Costa Counties Loop Detector Replacements and Cabinet Technology Upgrades (EA 04-0V710)

The California Department of Transportation, District 4, is proposing a project to replace loop detectors and upgrade cabinet technology at various locations along State Route 24, Interstate 80, and Interstate 880 within Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. This initiative, identified as EA 04-0V710, will involve the use of construction equipment such as trucks, loaders, pavement saws, air compressors, and vacuum recovery systems, with one way traffic control required during the implementation phase. The project is currently listed as a forecast with a posted date of October 1, 2026. According to a Notice of Exemption filed on September 30, 2026, the work is classified as a Categorical Exemption under PRC 21084 and 14 CCR 15301 Class 1 for existing facilities, as it is not expected to result in significant environmental impacts. Juliane Smith, a Senior Environmental Scientist, serves as the primary point of contact for this effort.
