Sacramento - Work continues for the $529 million U.S. Highway 50 (US 50) Multimodal Corridor Enhancement “Fix50” Project with the installation of new overhead signs on eastbound US 50.
There will be five overhead signs along eastbound and westbound US 50 between Interstate 5 (I-5) and State Route 99 (SR 99) connectors.
The installation of these signs requires a process involving the use of a crane, a flatbed trailer, and other heavy equipment. For the safety of our crews and motorists, a four-hour nighttime closure for eastbound US 50 is required. The signs will be installed eastbound around 20th Street.
Caltrans alerts motorists to use caution when travelling during construction times and expect commercial trucks traveling in and out of the work zone.
Schedule:
From 12 a.m. to 4 a.m. tonight, on Wednesday, May 7. (Weather permitting)
Suggested Detour:
- From southbound I-5, motorists can use the X Street exit and then on to the 34th Street on-ramp.
- From northbound I-5, motorists can use Broadway to X St, then on to the 34th Street on ramp.
- Eastbound 50 travelers should use the 5th Street off-ramp to reach X Street, then on to the 34th Street on-ramp
The ongoing work is part of a project to rehabilitate the pavement and add 14 lane miles of high-occupancy lanes from the US 50/I-5 interchange to the US 50/ Watt Avenue interchange.
Motorists traveling through the work zone should expect lane restrictions. The work zone speed limit has been reduced to 55 mph and the California Highway Patrol will be present for traffic enforcement. For more information visit the U.S. Highway 50 Multimodal Corridor Enhancement and Rehabilitation Project on the Caltrans District 3 website.
