Yolo County - Caltrans is notifying motorists that a new lane will open on westbound I-80 in Yolo County as part of the ongoing $280 million Interstate 80 (I-80) and U.S. Highway 50 (US 50) Pavement Rehabilitation Project at 5 a.m. Monday, June 30.
The new lane will start before the westbound US 50/I-80 junction and run adjacent to the highway before merging into the existing lanes of westbound I-80 at the causeway.
The contractor has been diligently working this area to accelerate the construction of the concrete pavement for the last month. The added lane is expected to help alleviate the bottle neck at the US 50/I-80 junction for the remainder of the project.
This 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. Visit build.ca.gov to learn more about transformative infrastructure projects happening in communities throughout the state.
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.
