Northbound SR 99 to the eastbound US 50 connector closes overnight Friday for Fix50 work in Sacramento.<\/p>\n

SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 Drivers in Sacramento should expect overnight delays starting Friday night as a key freeway connector closes for construction work on the Fix50 project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> for pavement work.<\/p>\n

\n This story continues below. <\/p>\n

The closure will begin at 10 p.m. Friday and is scheduled to reopen at 1 p.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n

During the closure, motorists will be directed to use the following detour:<\/p>\n

Drivers will be rerouted<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Caltrans is urging drivers to plan ahead, expect delays, and allow extra travel time when traveling through the area overnight and early Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

The work is part of the larger $511.1 million Fix50 project<\/a> aimed at improving pavement conditions and expanding capacity along the US 50 corridor through Sacramento.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project has recently entered its final phase, with most previous detours on the mainline already removed.<\/p>\n

The speed limit in the work zone remains reduced to 55 mph, and the California Highway Patrol will be present for enforcement.<\/p>\n
