Sacramento, CA, August 11, 2014 – The Sacramento County Department of Transportation is alerting motorists that on the evenings of August 11 to 15, there will be intermittent closures for all Watt Avenue @ US-50 Interchange off-ramps and on-ramps. Closure and detour information is listed below:
Nights of August 11 to 15:
-
All Off-Ramps and On-Ramps: From 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night, there will be intermittent closures of interchange off-ramps and on-ramps. Closure periods for each ramp will last from 2 to 4 hours. Once work on a specific ramp is completed, the ramp will be re-opened to motorists. No two on-ramps in the same direction will be closed at the same time.
-
Detours: Detours will be in place to guide motorists through the project area.
-
Delays: Expect possible 5 to 10 minute delays during detour periods.
Overnight Project Work: Project work during closure periods will include roadway paving and moving portable concrete barriers (K-rail) for worker protection.
Completed Project: The completed project will provide a reduction in overall delay through the interchange; much easier and safer access on and off the freeway for all motorists; dedicated transit facilities; and, improved access and safety for bicyclists and pedestrians. It is anticipated that the project will be completed by October 2014.
Patience is Appreciated: The patience and cooperation of the traveling public is appreciated as work to construct the interchange project continues.
