Caltrans announced earlier this week that they will be doing construction work for its upcoming Yolo Interstate 80 and U.S. Highway 50 Pavement Rehabilitation Project.

Construction will start Friday, March 7, at 9 p.m. and continue until Tuesday, March 11, at 4 a.m. and will include a full closure of eastbound Hwy. 50 after crossing the eastbound I-80 Yolo Causeway from Davis in Yolo County.

According to the Caltrans website, eastbound Hwy. 50 motorists can exit at Enterprise Boulevard (exit 81) or continue eastbound on I-80 and exit at Reed Avenue (exit 83) for access to West Sacramento as a detour.

The work zone will be west of the Yolo Causeway along I-80 and US-50 in West Sacramento. The speed limit has been reduced to 55 miles per hour for the safety of workers and motorists.

Work is scheduled to begin as listed but is subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather conditions, availability of equipment and/or materials and construction-related issues.

According to the website, this $280 million project includes $47 million from Senate Bill (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB 1 provides $5 billion in transportation funding annually, shared equally between state and local agencies. Road projects progress through construction phases more quickly based on the availability of SB 1 funds, including projects partially funded by SB 1.
