A contractor will be installing a temporary concrete barrier in preparation for the construction of a $7 million truck climbing lane.
Traffic will be detoured to I-80’s Highway 37 exit in Vallejo, then back to Napa on Highway 29, Caltrans said. Eastbound traffic on Jamieson Canyon will not be affected.

Caltrans is building a 1.2-mile truck climbing lane from the interstate to the top of the grade west of Red Top Road. Construction will take a year.
The new lane should help to prevent rush hour traffic from backing up onto the interstate, Caltrans said.
