Sacramento - As construction on the $511.1 million U.S. Highway 50 (US 50) Multimodal Corridor Enhancement "Fix50" Project continues, sign installations are scheduled next week that will cause some traffic delays.
The contractor will install full-span overhead signs and additional signage along the highway. For the safety of the traveling public and due to the nature of the heavy equipment needed to complete some of the work, crews will perform traffic breaks during the work and close various ramps and connectors.
Work Schedule:
  1. Monday, January 19, 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Westbound US 50 between 65th Street and Stockton Boulevard. A sign is going to be installed over the freeway just west of 39th Street.
