Construction work will include a full closure of eastbound (EB) I-80 after crossing the EB I-80 Yolo Causeway from Davis going toward Reed Avenue in West Sacramento. Caltrans urges motorists to plan for additional travel time, to expect delays and use the designated detour route. (see map)

    The extended lane closures will help to minimize the duration of the work and improve workers’ safety.

Yolo 80 pavement rehab project may 9-21 

This $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.
