Infineon AMA Pro Traffic Update
SONOMA, Calif. (May 14, 2009) — The California Department of Transportation has altered the time schedule for its overnight construction project this weekend, which should benefit fans attending the Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown, presented by Supercuts, at Infineon Raceway.
A 12-mile stretch of Highway 37 between the raceway and the Wilson Ave. overcrossing in Vallejo will be closed for repaving on the following days and times this weekend:
· Closed Friday at 9 p.m., re-open Saturday by 7 a.m.
· Closed Saturday at 8 p.m., re-open Sunday by 7 a.m.
· Closed Sunday at 10 p.m., re-open Monday by 5 a.m.
Highway 37 west of the raceway will not be closed or otherwise affected by the construction. Those traveling to the raceway using Highway 101 in Marin County will follow the normal route on Highway 37 eastbound, making a left at Highway 121 and into the facility at Gate 1.
Gates do not open until 8 a.m. over race weekend, with on-track action beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and main events set to begin after noon each day.
