FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sacramento – Caltrans is advising motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists to expect longterm sidewalk and bike lane closure on Riverside Boulevard at Casilada Way due to construction related work.

A contractor has begun excavation for the new Pedestrian Overcrossing (POC). For safety a long-term, around the clock sidewalk and bike lane closure are in place. The existing POC will remain open for use.

Work on the opposite side of the POC on Karbet Way began in September. Caltrans reminds motorists that these workzones are within city surface streets in a residential area. The speed limit is 25 mph.

CLOSURE:

  • Riverside Boulevard shoulder, sidewalk and bike lane at Casilada Way.

Daytime work will comply with the City of Sacramento’s noise ordinance. The work is part of the $370 million project to rehabilitate 67 lane miles of roadway and build 23 miles of carpool lanes, add additional sound walls and improve the existing electrical and drainage. $48.3 million is from SB 1 funding.

Caltrans urges motorists to plan ahead for additional travel time through the work zone. The California Highway Patrol will be at the work sites for traffic enforcement.

More information on this project can be located here.

Weather or unexpected events may delay or prolong the work. Caltrans advises motorists to “Be Work Zone Alert.” The department will issue construction updates on Twitter @CaltransDist3 and on Facebook at CaltransDistrict3.
