Caltrans To Begin Next Traffic Shift As Interstate 5 Anchor Pavement And Rehabilitation Project Continues
San Joaquin County – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will soon be shifting all traffic lanes on Interstate 5 (I-5) between Hammer Lane and Eight Mile Road in Stockton as construction progresses on the I-5 Anchor Pavement and Rehabilitation Project.
On August 15, 2024, Caltrans will complete Stage 1, which included the widening of the northbound and southbound median shoulders from 4 feet to 10 feet.
The Stage 2 traffic shift will begin the week of August 11-17, 2024, and will require northbound motorists to travel in the newly widened northbound median shoulders (serving as the #1 left-most lane) as paving work will begin in the northbound right-hand shoulders. A total of three mainline traffic lanes will remain open during daytime hours, with alternating lane closures overnight. The Stage 2 traffic shift is expected to be in place through late September 2024. (See illustration above.)
The above listed traffic shift, overnight alternating lane closures and ramp closures on I-5 between Hammer Lane and the San Joaquin/Sacramento County line are required as part of the I-5 Anchor Pavement Project that will improve 34 miles of existing pavement and shoulders from Hammer Lane in Stockton to the San Joaquin/ Sacramento County line.
The project will also replace on- and off-ramps with asphalt concrete at Eight Mile Road, State Route 12, Turner Road, Peltier Road, and Thornton Road/Walnut Grove Road.
