Yolo County - Construction on Interstate 5 (I-5) has been rescheduled due to inclement weather and schedule conflicts. The southbound I-5 nightly full closures are now scheduled to begin on Sunday, October 25, at 9 p.m. with signed detours. The County Road 22 detour is for local traffic only.
Two directions will not close on I-5 at the same time. Commercial trucking is urged to use State Route 113 (SR 113) to Interstate 80 (I-80). Expect delays and extended travel times.
Crews will remove and replace multiple bridge joints along I-5 at the Yolo Bypass north of the Sacramento River and Sacramento International Airport (SMF).
The contractor will shift operations from northbound and southbound directions.
This construction work will require the bridge to be closed one direction at a time and is necessary for workers’ and motorists’ safety. Caltrans urges motorists to pay close attention to advance warnings and detour signs
The northbound I-5 closure should not delay the public from making scheduled departures. The southbound closure is expected to affect motorists traveling towards the airport. Motorists are urged to plan their route in advance and allow enough time to reach SMF for flight departures.
SCHEDULED OVERNIGHT CLOSURES:
- Southbound I-5 closures from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Oct. 25 through Oct. 30
- Northbound I-5 closures from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Nov. 1 through Nov. 6
- Southbound I-5 closures from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Nov. 4 through Nov. 20
The work zone speed limit will be reduced to 55 mph, and the California Highway Patrol will be present for traffic enforcement. Work is scheduled as listed, but is subject to change due to weather, availability of equipment and/or materials, or other construction-related issues.
Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans reminds motorists to “Be Work Zone Alert” and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.
