Sacramento - Work on the U.S. Highway 50 (US 50) Multimodal Corridor Enhancement "Fix50" Project continues with a 55-hour closure at the westbound US 50 to southbound State Route 99 (SR 99) connector scheduled for this weekend.
Caltrans also is alerting motorists about one more 55-hour closure to this connector coming on April 18, weather dependent.
Caltrans urges motorists to plan ahead and to expect delays with additional travel time for detours. Southbound SR 99 motorists should use southbound Interstate 5 (I-5) as an alternate route.
Due to the striping and pavement work, the connector requires more than one 55-hour closure. Motorists should use caution when travelling during construction times and expect commercial trucks traveling in and out of the work zone.
Schedule: Friday, April 11 at 10 p.m. through Monday, April 14 at 5 a.m.
Suggested Detour:
- Westbound US 50 motorists to southbound SR 99 should continue on westbound US 50 and stay in the right lane to southbound I-5 Los Angeles.
The ongoing work is part of a $529 million project to rehabilitate pavement and add 14 lane miles of high-occupancy lanes from the US 50/I-5 interchange to the US 50/Watt Avenue interchange.
Motorists traveling through the work zone should expect lane restrictions and be aware of commercial work vehicles traveling in and out of the area. The work zone speed limit has been reduced to 55 mph and the California Highway Patrol will be present for traffic enforcement. For more information visit the U.S. Highway 50 Multimodal Corridor Enhancement and Rehabilitation Project on the Caltrans District 3 website.
Work is scheduled to begin as listed but subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather, availability of equipment and/ or materials, and construction related issues.
