U.S. Highway 50 Multimodal Corridor Enhancement and Rehabilitation Project
Project Facts
Description
This comprehensive corridor project will construct High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes and rehabilitate pavement on US 50 from the US 50/I-5 Interchange (PM L0.2) to the US 50/Watt Avenue Interchange (PM R6.1) for a total of 14 lane miles.

Project Benefits
- Provide an option for reliable peak period travel time.
- Use the highway facilities as efficiently as possible.
- Improve general traffic operations by reducing congestion and travel time.
- Improve bicycle and pedestrian access.
The purpose of this project is to reduce congestion and replace the existing Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement, reduce maintenance crew’s exposure to live traffic, and reduce maintenance expenditures. The project scope also includes the restoration of other roadway elements such as drainage, lighting, and Intelligent Transportation Systems. The existing PCC pavement was built between 1967 and 1971 and has reached the end of its service life. It is deteriorated and has a poor ride quality that requires annual maintenance to repair and maintain. This project will also increase the deficient vertical clearance at seven over crossing structures in the project limits as identified in the District 3 Goods and Movement Study. This increased vertical clearance will reduce the frequency of “high load” hits, reduce maintenance worker exposure to traffic, and improve freight mobility in this corridor.
