Hwy 99 In Sacramento Closing For Several Days

By Pacey on June 2, 2021

The closure will affect both directions of highway 99 from 47th Ave. to the Hwy 50 interchange from June 11-16. Crews will be replacing the aging bridge deck on Highway 99 at 21st Avenue.

The closure begins Friday, June 11 at 8:00 p.m. until 4:00 a.m., Wednesday, June 16.

Drivers are advised to use I-5 as an alternate or Free Light Rail Service.

“To avoid extensive traffic shifts and lane reductions that could last up to six months, crews are using innovative accelerated bridge construction techniques to complete the work as quickly as possible,” according to the CHP – South Sacramento Facebook page.

Crews are also closing the mainline westbound Business 80/Capital City Freeway to southbound SR-99, and the westbound and eastbound US-50 connector ramps to southbound SR-99. In addition, the following ramps are scheduled to be closed:
* The on-ramp from 16th Street to eastbound US-50
