The traffic split will start just before the 59th Street off-ramp and will end after the Howe Avenue on-ramp to eastbound US 50. There will be two by-pass lanes on the left and two through lanes on the right with the construction work zone in the middle.
Caltrans reminds motorists to be work zone alert and pay attention to the signs that have been placed in order to know in advance which lane to use. Motorists are also urged to plan ahead and to expect delays with additional travel time.
