New Bypass Makes It Easier To Drive To LV -- Hours Get Shorter in October

The new Highway 4 Bypass is now fully open, making it much easier and faster to get to Los Vaqueros and the Tarantula Run from Central Contra Costa County, or even Oakley.

The bypass will take you right to the doorstep of the North Entrance to Los Vaqueros, so all you need to do is exit at Walnut Blvd, and drive about a mile south to the front gate.

Here's a map that shows the new bypass.

The hours Los Vaqueros is open will get shorter in October. During the month, the watershed will be open only from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

There is an exception, LV will be open at 6 a.m. for the race on Oct. 25.
