The McClure Tunnel and several nearby ramps will temporarily close in January to facilitate upgrades to the freeway.

Ramp closures associated with the project will occur mostly overnight between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. and the tunnel itself will be closed for a week from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Friday.
Workers will be installing new lights, a high friction road surface, speed warning system and the county’s first queue warning system.
