SACRAMENTO, Calif — The Stockton Boulevard on-ramp to westbound U.S. Highway 50 in Sacramento will close for 11 days beginning Friday night as part of Caltrans’ ongoing “Fix50” improvement project.
The closure is scheduled from 10 p.m. Friday, May 8, through 4 a.m. Monday, May 18, according to Caltrans.
Crews will repair the bridge approach slab at the on-ramp as part of the $511.1 million U.S. Highway 50 Multimodal Corridor Enhancement Project.
In addition to the ramp closure, westbound Highway 50 will be reduced to as few as two through lanes during a 55-hour construction window from 9 p.m. Friday, May 15, through 4 a.m. Monday, May 18.
The lane reductions will extend from 53rd Street to the area between 32nd Street and Alhambra Boulevard. Caltrans said crews will perform joint repair work at bridge hinges spanning several lanes.
Drivers seeking access to westbound Highway 50 from Stockton Boulevard will be detoured onto eastbound Highway 50 to 65th Street, where they can loop back onto westbound Highway 50.
Caltrans said drivers should expect delays, allow extra travel time and use caution in the construction zone, where the speed limit remains reduced to 55 mph.
