Constructon Underway on I-5, Downtown Sacramento’s Primary Automotve Freeway
June 2008 – Sacramento, CA - The much antcipated and debated Interstate-5 constructon project along downtown Sacramento’s primary freeway is now upon us. The secton of automotve highway that will be afected is the area that is aptly named the “Boat Secton” because it was built below the water level of the nearby Sacramento River. Back in the 1960’s it had to be drained during the rainy seasons. This secton was one of the last sectons of I-5 to be constructed, and thanks to all these years of fooding and blocked drainage systems, it now sufers from cracks and pavement breakdown. If you use I-5 as your regular Sacramento automotve commute route, are you prepared to take a litle longer to drive to downtown Sacramento? Do you have your alternatve route mapped out? Have you decided to change your mode of vehicle transportaton? If not, I would encourage you to check out CalTrans’ ofcial web site FixI-5.com. There is a wealth of informaton available there. You can even sign up to have them email you with alerts and schedule changes, etc. There you’ll also fnd some special ofers from downtown Sacramento businesses that will remain open and are encouraging the public to visit them during the constructon project. Another good resource worth mentoning is 5-1-1. You can dial it anywhere in the Sacramento region from your cell phone and get current automotve trafc informaton and updates not only on I-5, but also on all of the alternate routes. This can be a great tool on days when you’re pressed for tme and need to fnd the fastest way around the Sacramento freeway closures. 5-1-1 will usually have estmated travel tmes that are remarkably accurate based on the situatons going on at that very tme. Here’s a tentatve closure schedule* that was posted by the California Department of Transportaton: Friday, May 30, 8:00 p.m. – All northbound lanes of I-5 from Highway 50/Capitol City Freeway interchange to Richards Blvd. will be closed. (The Q Street ramp will remain open from I-5 northbound.) Monday, June 9, 5:00 a.m. – All lanes will be open for fve days. Friday, June 13, 8:00 p.m. – All southbound lanes of I-5 from Hwy 50/Capitol City Freeway interchange to Richards Blvd. will be closed. (Two lanes for trafc exitng at J Street will be open.) Monday, June 23, 5:00 a.m. – All lanes will be open for four days. Thursday, June26, 8:00 p.m. – All northbound lanes of I-5 from Highway 50/Capitol City Freeway interchange to Richards Blvd. will be closed. (The Q Street ramp will remain open from I-5 northbound.) Thursday, July 3, 5:00 a.m. – All lanes will be open for six days. Tuesday, July 8, 8:00 p.m. – All southbound lanes of I-5 from Hwy 50/Capitol City Freeway interchange to Richards Blvd. will be closed. (Two lanes for trafc exitng at J Street will be open.) Tuesday, July 15, 5:00 a.m. – Work on this porton of the Fix I-5 project should be complete. Happy and safe travels, everyone. Be kind and courteous to your fellow automotve commuters during these tmes of transiton. Remember that everyone is “in the same boat” – car or vehicle, that is.
