Update: I-5 Scheduled for Emergency Closures in Downtown Sacramento
Major Delays Expected for Labor Day Weekend

SACRAMENTO – Caltrans is advising motorists northbound Interstate 5 near Richards Boulevard just north of downtown Sacramento will be partially closed for emergency work over the Labor Day weekend.

The extended weekend closure is scheduled to begin this Friday night and last until early Tuesday morning.

Daytime work will close the northbound number one and two lanes. Nighttime work will close down the northbound number three, four and auxiliary lanes.

To avoid delays motorists are urged to use westbound U.S. Highway 50 to eastbound I-80 and reconnect with northbound I-5 as an alternate route.

Extended Weekend Closure Schedule for Northbound I-5:

• 11 p.m. Friday, August 31 to 4 a.m. Tuesday, September 4.
• I Street On-ramp to Northbound I-5 Closed

The closure comes after a large pothole in the pavement damaged multiple vehicles, and caused the shutdown of the northbound number four lane for about five hours on August 30.

Caltrans District 3 will issue construction updates on Twitter @CaltransDist3 and on Facebook at CaltransDistrict3. For real-time traffic, click on Caltrans’ QuickMap quickmap.dot.ca.gov/ or download the QuickMap app on iTunes or Google Play.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Caltrans Has Completed Accelerated Repairs to State Route 113 in Solano County Due to SB 1 Funds
Completed Pavement Project Repaired Three Lane Miles, Providing a Safer, Smoother Drive for Motorists

SOLANO COUNTY — Caltrans has completed pavement work on three lane miles of State Route 113 in Solano County, due to the funds from Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

“The completion of this pavement improvement project supports Caltrans’ mission to maintain our state’s transportation system,” said Caltrans Director Laurie Berman. “Motorists traveling between Dixon and Rio Vista will benefit from a safer, smoother drive.”

More than 10,000 motorists and 600 truckers travel on this route each day. Trucks with five or more axles make up 44 percent of the freight vehicles, which add to wear and tear on the roads.

“Well-maintained roads are crucial in agricultural towns like Dixon,” said Caltrans District Director Tony Tavares. “Local families rely on rural highways to connect their communities and the economy depends on getting goods to market.”

The $1.8 million roadway project repaired SR-113 in Dixon from Hastings Island Road to Brown Road and from Midway Road to Adams Street.
More information and updates on projects can be found at http://www.dot.ca.gov/d4/index.html or on Twitter via https://twitter.com/CaltransD4.

SB 1 provides an ongoing funding increase of approximately $1.8 billion annually for the maintenance and rehabilitation of the state highway system. SB 1 funds will enable Caltrans to fix more than 17,000 lane miles of pavement, 500 bridges and 55,000 culverts by 2027.

Caltrans is committed to conducting its business in a fully transparent manner and detailing its progress to the public.

SOLANO AND SACRAMENTO COUNTIES – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has scheduled one-way traffic controls and a temporary closure of the State Route 12 (SR-12) Rio Vista Bridge on Sunday, August 12, 2018.

Bridge Open to Motorists but Remains Closed to Large Ships

Since Thursday, Caltrans has been working to repair the mechanism which lifts and lowers the bridge. During the repairs, the bridge is open to motorists but cannot be raised for large ships.

While the cranes are on the bridge, all traffic lanes will be closed for approximately 30 to 40 minutes. The closure will occur sometime on August 12 between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Once work with the cranes is completed, at least one traffic lane will reopen.

At times when the bridge is not closed, one-way traffic controls on the bridge will be in effect starting Sunday, August,12 at 10:00 AM until approximately 2:00 PM. Crews will alternate lane closures in both eastbound and westbound directions. This will allow one lane on the bridge to remain open during the work. Flaggers will help direct traffic.

Motorists should expect delays and allow for extra travel time.
For motorists using the SR-84 Real McCoy and SR-220 Ryer Island Ferries as a bridge detour, additional ferry information is located on our Caltrans Delta Ferries website at:
