FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Yolo County - Caltrans is alerting motorists of an upcoming extended ramp closures for the ongoing Yolo Interstate 80 (I-80) Pavement Rehabilitation Project beginning Friday, October 4.
Continuing construction work will include a closure of the eastbound U.S. Highway 50 (US 50) exit ramps to Jefferson Boulevard and State Route 275 in West Sacramento for repaving work. Caltrans urges motorists to plan for additional travel time and to expect delays.
Scheduled Closure And Location:
- 9 p.m. Friday, October 4 to 5 a.m. Wednesday, October 16
- Eastbound US 50 Jefferson Blvd and State Route 275 Exit Ramps (EXIT 3)
Detour:
- Use EB US 50 to 5th Street (EXIT 4B) make a left turn onto 5th Street, stay left and return to WB San Francisco 80. Continue to Jefferson Blvd and State Route 275 (EXIT 3)
The work zone is from the Yolo Causeway through West Sacramento on I-80 and US 50. The speed limit has been reduced to 55 miles per hour 24/7 for the safety of workers and motorists. Work is scheduled to begin as listed but subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather conditions, availability of equipment and/or materials, and construction-related issues.
The 13-day extended exit closures will help to minimize the duration of the work and improve workers’ safety.
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.
The $280 million project includes $47 million from Senate Bill (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB 1 provides $5 billion in transportation funding annually, shared equally between state and local agencies. Road projects progress through construction phases more quickly based on the availability of SB 1 funds, including projects partially funded by SB 1.
