A 56-hour closure on Highway 50 is underway in Sacramento this weekend as crews remove and replace pavement with new concrete near the bridge deck connecting the eastbound lanes to Business 80 and Highway 99.

The work is part of a larger $511.1 million Fix 50 Project that aims to rehabilitate pavement and add 14 lane miles of carpool lanes between the Highway 50 and Interstate 5 interchange and the Highway 50 and Watt Avenue interchange.

Beginning Friday at 9 p.m., the connector ramps from eastbound Highway 50 to eastbound Business 80 and southbound Highway 99 will be closed. The closures will stay in place until 5 a.m. Monday.

Additionally, the #4 lane on eastbound Highway 50 will also be closed from 24th Street to 26th Street each night from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
