Expect Delays as You Drive Through Petaluma

Caltrans will be putting in striping two lanes on East Washington Street this week as part of the Highway 101/Washington Street interchange project.

Heading to Petaluma this week? You can expect delays on East Washington Street as Caltrans continues work in the area.

Every day this week except the Fourth of July holiday, two lanes on westbound East Washington between McDowell Boulevard and the southbound offramp will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. as workers stripe the segment of roadway. There is a chance that East Washington traffic could back up onto the Highway 101 offramps.

The southbound Highway 101 onramp from East Washington will be closed from 10 p.m. Monday to 5 a.m. Tuesday, so use an alternate route. The onramp might also be closed from 10 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday depending on work progress.
