I-5 Managed Lanes Project

Description and Location

The I-5 manage lanes Project proposes to construct managed lanes on both directions on Interstate 5 (I-5) in Sacramento County from the I-5 and US 50 Interchange to the Sacramento River Bridge and the Sacramento-Yolo County line.  The purpose of the project is to reduce congestion, increase the number of people traveling through the area, provide multimodal access, promote ride sharing, improve mobility and improve traffic operations through added Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) infrastructure .  The proposed project has evaluated nine alternative types of managed lanes to accomplish the purpose of the project.
