Sacramento – Construction on the $511.1 million U.S. Highway 50 (US 50) Multimodal Corridor Enhancement “Fix50” Project continues with a scheduled 27-hour closure of the eastbound and westbound #1 lanes from 15th Street to 26th Street next weekend.
Crews will remove the distressed surface layer of asphalt concrete and replace it with new, high-performance Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) to improve durability and ride quality. Due to current low temperatures at night, the replacement HMA paving must be performed during the daytime when temperatures are warmer.
The closures are scheduled from 9 p.m. Friday, January 23 to midnight Saturday, January 24.
Closure Schedule:
- Westbound US 50 #1 lane closure is scheduled from 9 p.m. Friday, January 23 to 2 p.m. Saturday, January 24.
- Eastbound US 50 #1 lane closure is scheduled from 8 a.m. Saturday, January 24, to midnight Saturday. No lane closures are scheduled for Sunday, January 25.
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 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.
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.
Work is scheduled to begin as listed but subject to change due to traffic incidents, availability of equipment and/or materials, or other construction-related issues.
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.
