Caltrans updates on I-80 and Highway 50 ramp closures for commuters
( — Caltrans is alerting the community of an update on the ramp closures for the ongoing I-80 and Highway 50 Pavement Rehabilitation Project in Yolo County.
According to Caltrans, the Chiles Road on and off-ramps along westbound I-80 will be affected by the anticipated weather expected in the area. Since the materials related to this repaving project can not be placed in wet conditions, there have been some shifts that have been canceled.

Caltrans has suggested a detour through westbound I-80 and motorists can use Mace Boulevard as an alternative entrance and exit for I-80.
The work zone is from just west of the Yolo Causeway along I-80 and Highway 50 in West Sacramento, said Caltrans. The speed limit has been reduced to 55 mph for the safety of other motorists and workers.
Caltrans said, 'The extended lane closures will help to minimize the duration of the work and improve workers' safety.'
According to a statement from Caltrans, this is a $280 million project that includes $47 million from Senate Bill One which is the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The bill provides about $5 billion in transportation funding every year which is shared equally between state and local agencies.
'Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties,' said officials. 'Caltrans reminds motorists to 'Be Work Zone Alert' and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.'
