New eastbound Highway 50 split in Sacramento to begin this week
Caltrans said the new traffic split will begin at 5 a.m. Thursday at 51st Street and will continue until after the Highway 16/Howe Avenue/Power Inn Road/Hornet Drive off-ramp.
The first and second lanes will be on the left of the median barrier and will serve as bypass lanes, meaning drivers will not be able to take the 59th Street, 65th Street and Howe Avenue exit.
The third and fourth lanes will be to the right of the barrier, where drivers will be able to exit at 59th Street, 65th Street and Howe Avenue.
The lane split is part of the Fix50 Project that is rehabilitating pavement and adding high-occupancy lanes from the Highway 50 and Interstate 5 interchange to the Highway 50 and Watt Avenue interchange.
The speed limit in the work zone is 55 mph.

Ford delays electric pickup, van to 2028, Automotive News reports
(Reuters) -Ford Motor is delaying the launch of two next-generation electric vehicles as it shifts focus to smaller and more affordable models, Automotive News reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. The automaker recently informed suppliers that a full-size electric pickup, scheduled for production at its BlueOval City assembly plant in Tennessee, will be delayed to 2028 from 2027, the report added, citing three people familiar with the plans. The truck is the long-awaited successor to Ford's F-150 Lightning electric pickup. Chinese automakers have been driving down costs on electric vehicle production and offering lower-cost models for shoppers. In response to this pressure, Ford and other automakers are focusing on producing affordable models on a streamlined platform, with a focus on delivering smaller electric vehicles. The timeline for an electric van, expected to be a next-generation E-Transit, has been pushed back from 2026 to 2028 for production in Avon Lake, Ohio, the report added, citing sources. Ford, which has faced costly quality issues and leads the industry in recalls, previously projected losses of up to $5.5 billion in its electric vehicle and software operations for 2025. Last year, the company scrapped plans for a three-row electric SUV, with CEO Jim Farley later stating that larger EV models are not the company's primary focus as it develops future battery-powered vehicles.
