Sacramento - Construction on the $511.1 million U.S. Highway 50 (US 50) Multimodal Corridor Enhancement “Fix50” Project continues with a 55-hour closure of the X street on-ramp to eastbound US 50.

The X Street on-ramp work includes full-depth removal and replacement of concrete on the travel lane and asphalt on the shoulders.

Schedule:
9 p.m. Friday, August 22 to 5 a.m. Monday, August 25.

Suggested alternate route:

  • From X Street, turn right on 26th Street towards Broadway
  • Take the Broadway on-ramp to southbound State Route 99 (SR 99)
  • Exit southbound SR 99 at Sutterville Road/12th Avenue
  • Turn back to northbound SR 99 at Sutterville Road/12th Avenue to connect with eastbound US 50
  • Semi-trucks with wide loads and large trucks are suggested to use the Fruitridge Road interchange due to a wider turning template

Caltrans reminds drivers to expect delays, stay alert when traveling through work zones and pay close attention to advance signage posted before the traffic split. Motorists are also encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra travel time.

The ongoing work is part of a project to rehabilitate pavement and add 14 lane miles of high-occupancy lanes from the US 50/Interstate 5 interchange to the US 50/Watt Avenue interchange.
