Northbound SR 99 to the eastbound US 50 connector closes overnight Friday for Fix50 work in Sacramento.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Drivers in Sacramento should expect overnight delays starting Friday night as a key freeway connector closes for construction work on the Fix50 project.
According to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the northbound State Route 99 to eastbound U.S. Highway 50 connector will close for 15 hours for pavement work.
This story continues below.
The closure will begin at 10 p.m. Friday and is scheduled to reopen at 1 p.m. Saturday.
During the closure, motorists will be directed to use the following detour:
Drivers will be rerouted from the SR 99 connector to westbound US 50, then exit at 16th Street. From there, traffic will continue on surface streets, including W Street, 15th Street, and X Street, before re-entering eastbound US 50 via the 16th Street on-ramp.
Caltrans is urging drivers to plan ahead, expect delays, and allow extra travel time when traveling through the area overnight and early Saturday morning.
The work is part of the larger $511.1 million Fix50 project aimed at improving pavement conditions and expanding capacity along the US 50 corridor through Sacramento.
The project has recently entered its final phase, with most previous detours on the mainline already removed.
The speed limit in the work zone remains reduced to 55 mph, and the California Highway Patrol will be present for enforcement.
