Sacramento - Caltrans is continuing with work on the U.S. Highway 50 Multimodal Corridor Enhancement "Fix50" Project, which will include a 55-hour closure of the westbound Hornet Drive slip on-ramp and westbound 65th Street off-ramp, from Friday, September 6 at 9 p.m. through Monday, September 9 by 5 a.m.

Construction crews currently working in this area will be utilized to complete the paving work and avoid further closures for motorists, since the Hornet Drive on-ramp and the 65th Street off-ramp are adjacent to each other. Caltrans does not anticipate heavy dust or noise impact to nearby city streets.

Suggested Detours

• For Hornet Drive, motorists can use Howe Avenue.
• For 65th Street, motorists can use Stockton Boulevard or Howe Avenue.

The ongoing work is part of a $483.5 million project to rehabilitate pavement and add 14 lane miles of high-occupancy lanes from the U.S. 50/Interstate 5 interchange to the U.S. 50/Watt Avenue interchange.

Motorists traveling through the work zone should expect lane restrictions and be aware of commercial work vehicles traveling in and out of the area. The work zone speed limit has been reduced to 55 mph and the California Highway Patrol will be present for traffic enforcement.

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