Closure of Eastbound Hwy 50 on Tuesday, April 20th

On April 20 from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., all eastbound lanes of U.S. Hwy 50 will be closed for road construction. The closure will be from Watt Avenue to Bradshaw Road with the detour route being Folsom Blvd. Drivers can expect delays of up to 20 minutes. Inclement weather could postpone this closure, check roadside message boards for the latest information. The work is part of a $108 million project by Caltrans, Sacramento County, the City of Rancho Cordova, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, and the Sacramento Transportation Authority that will help unclog traffic congestion and reduce air pollution by adding 15 lane miles of new bus/carpool lanes on U.S. Highway 50 between Watt Avenue in Sacramento and Sunrise Boulevard in Rancho Cordova.
