All lanes of northbound Interstate Highway 680 in Pleasanton were closed Wednesday morning while crews inspected an overhead sign that was struck and damaged by a big rig, according to the California Highway Patrol.Caltrans said the sign was damaged during an overnight road paving operation when the cab of the truck flipped open and struck the sign at about 3:50 a.m. south of the interchange with Interstate Highway 580.
Caltrans crews eventually removed the entire overhead sign because of the damage. The work also forced the closure of the northbound 680 connector to eastbound Highway 580.Drivers were diverted off the highway to Stoneridge Drive during the closure. Other northbound drivers were using the Sunol Boulevard and Bernal Avenue exits to get around the closure.Caltrans said the sign was safely removed and the lanes reopened around 10:40 a.m.
