Westbound Interstate 80 between West Sacramento, Natomas closes this weekend for ongoing construction project
Just weeks after a major closure disrupted traffic between Natomas and West Sacramento, Caltrans has begun another 55-hour full shutdown of westbound Interstate 80 this weekend between the two areas.
Caltrans is alerting drivers that westbound I-80 will be closed through the weekend from Interstate 5 to the eastbound Highway 50 and the westbound I-80 interchange. All associated on- and off-ramps will be closed as well.
The 55-hour closure began at 9 p.m. Friday and ends at 4 a.m. Monday.
The closure will allow contractors to complete demolition and pavement work for the $280 million I-80 and Highway 50 pavement rehabilitation project.
Caltrans has said during previous closures that crews are replacing 30- to 40-year-old concrete.
What on- and off-ramps are closed?
- Northbound I-5 to westbound I-80 connector
- Westbound I-80 to Westbound I-80 and Highway 50 connector
- Westbound I-80 El Centro Road and West El Camino Avenue on-ramps
- Westbound I-80 Reed Avenue on-ramps
- Westbound I-80 Enterprise Boulevard on-ramp and off-ramp
What is the detour for this weekend's I-80 closure?
If heading west on I-80, drivers will take I-5 south to westbound Highway 50.
For Enterprise Boulevard and West Capitol Avenue, drivers can use the westbound Harbor Boulevard off-ramp. They can then turn right to get to West Capitol or left to Industrial Boulevard.
