IT\u2019S NOW BEEN EXACTLY ONE HOUR SINCE SEVERAL RAMPS CLOSED FOR A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT ON HIGHWAY 50 IN SACRAMENTO. THANKS FOR JOINING US HERE FOR OUR NEWS TONIGHT AT TEN. I\u2019M EDIE LAMBERT AND I\u2019M KURTIS MING. KCRA 3\u2019S CAROLINA ESTRADA IS LIVE AT ONE OF THOSE CLOSURES. AND CATALINA, HOW LONG IS THIS ONE GOING TO LAST? YEAH, THIS IS GOING TO KEEP GOING UNTIL MONDAY. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE STANDING ON 16TH STREET AND YOU CAN SEE RIGHT BEHIND ME THE ONRAMP TO HIGHWAY 50 EASTBOUND IS ALREADY CLOSED. WE SEE SOME LIGHTS. YOU PROBABLY SEE THAT BIG RIG DRIVING ALONG HIGHWAY 50. SO TRAFFIC SEEMS TO BE FLOWING. SO HERE\u2019S WHERE THE CLOSURE IS. IT INVOLVES THE EASTBOUND 50 CONNECTOR RAMP TO EASTBOUND BUSINESS 80. NOW THE EASTBOUND 50 CONNECTOR RAMP TO SOUTH BY SOUTHBOUND HIGHWAY 99 IS ALSO IMPACTED. THE CLOSURE STARTED AT AROUND 9:00 AND ARE EXPECTED TO WRAP UP MONDAY MORNING AT FIVE. THE WORK ZONE SPEED LIMIT IS 55MPH. NOW THIS IS ALL HAPPENING ON WHAT IS LOOKING LIKE A BUSY WEEKEND AROUND SACRAMENTO. WE HAVE THE BREAKAWAY MUSIC FESTIVAL TOMORROW AT CAL EXPO, THE 55TH ANNUAL OKTOBERFEST AT TURNER HALL, AND THE 48TH ANNUAL SACRAMENTO JEWISH FOOD FAIR SUNDAY. SO THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPECTED TO BE OUT FOR NOW. THAT TRAFFIC SEEMS TO BE FLOWING, BUT AGAIN, THAT COULD CHANGE OVER THE WEEKEND, SO IT\u2019S IMPORTANT TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. AGAIN, THIS STARTED TONIGHT AT 9 P.M. AND IS GOING TO END MONDAY MORNING AT FIVE.
