Storm delays that pushed back a long-planned weekend closure of southbound Interstate 680 in Pleasanton might have a major impact on another East Bay event that has been on the calendar for months.
This weekend, the city of Dublin will commemorate 40 years of everything Irish with the annual St. Patrick's Day Celebration. 'You know, the city comes out in droves for this festival,' said Shari Jackman, who works on the yearly celebration. 'And we are always delighted to have people come from far and wide.'A lot of festivals have come and gone over the years, but Dublin is about to host its 40th St. Patrick's Day Celebration with a full weekend of festivities.
'The weekend Caltrans closure will shut down southbound I-680 from the I-580 interchange all the way down to Highway 84 for a repaving project. That means the southern flow of traffic will be shut off across Pleasanton down to Sunol. 'That's when everybody starts taking the back roads to the 84 Calaveras,' said Anthony Alvarado of Sunol Corners Market.Alvarado is expecting the backroads to get slammed this weekend, Good news for his business, he says.
