For Immediate Release

Roseville – Caltrans is tentatively scheduled to close the westbound Interstate 80 on-ramp at Atlantic Street overnight next week for construction activities.

Crews continue work to widen the on-ramp to three lanes and upgrade nearby drainage facilities, requiring nightly full on-ramp closures between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. Tuesday, July 6 through Friday, July 9. The closures are still tentative and may be rescheduled based on the contractor’s work plan.

During the overnight ramp closures, westbound I-80 motorists will be detoured along Harding Boulevard or North Sunrise Avenue to Douglas Boulevard. Weather or unexpected events may delay or prolong the work.

The $12 million project is expanding the width of the existing single-lane Atlantic Street/Eureka Road/Interstate 80 westbound onā€ramp to include three lanes and replacing the existing Miner’s Ravine Bridge to support the newly widened roadway. The project will reduce significant traffic backup and improve the operation of local streets and intersections.

For the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians, a portion of the nearby Miner’s Ravine Multi-Use Trail will be closed for construction activities through October. A bicycle and pedestrian detour on local streets will be available during the trail closure.  

Caltrans reminds motorists to Be Work Zone Alert and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements. The department will issue construction updates on Twitter @CaltransDist3 and on Facebook at CaltransDistrict3.
