Highway 4 Bypass News If you commute to the Brentwood Center from Highway 4, note that the second section of the Highway 4 bypass is due to open mid-January 2008. This is the section that runs from Highway 4 in Oakley to Lonetree Way n Antioch. You will no longer have to fight Lonetree Way or Brentwood Blvd. traffic to get to the Brentwood Center.

If you are currently taking the Lonetree or Hillcrest Avenue exits, you'll stay on Highway 4 a few more miles and take the Highway 4 bypass exit in Oakley, which will take you all the way to Sand Creek Road. Enjoy!!!
