SAC 5 Corridor Enhancement Project

Project Facts

Project Description

The Interstate 5 (I-5) Corridor Enhancement Project in Sacramento County extends from 1.1 mile south of the Elk Grove Boulevard Overcrossing to the American River Bridge. The project will rehabilitate pavement, construct new High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, replace a pedestrian overcrossing, construct sound walls, install new fiber optic lines, new ramp meters and extend various entrance and exit ramps.

Purpose and Need

To repair and repave the damaged roadway, relieve congestion with ride sharing options through the use of high occupancy vehicles. The project will improve access for carpools, vanpools and express bus services during peak period travel. Roadway rehabilitation is needed because the pavement has deteriorated and has a poor ride quality. The HOV lanes are needed because the I-5 corridor between Elk Grove Boulevard and the U.S. 50 interchange is experiencing recurring congestion during peak commute periods. Traffic demand during commute periods exceeds the freeway capacity, and the amount and duration of congestion is expected to increase in the future as suburban development in portions of the City of Sacramento and the City of Elk Grove increase.
