Yolo County - Caltrans is notifying motorists of a new traffic configuration scheduled to be in effect by 5 a.m. Friday, August 15 on westbound U.S. Highway (US 50) in Yolo County as part of the ongoing $280 million Interstate 80 (I-80) and US 50 Pavement Rehabilitation Project.

The traffic split will begin west of Jefferson Boulevard and the #1 and #2 will be restored to through lanes across the Yolo Causeway. Motorists should stay to the right of the split for access to the Harbor Boulevard and EB I-80 exits.

After the 50/80 interchange, WB I-80 traffic will merge into the #3 lane near Enterprise Boulevard. The #4 lane will exit at West Capitol Avenue.

The new striping configuration will maintain three through westbound lanes to the Causeway.

This 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. Visit build.ca.gov to learn more about transformative infrastructure projects happening in communities throughout the state.

Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans reminds motorists to "Be Work Zone Alert" and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.
