An overnight closure of Highway 50 off-ramps is one of the “final phases” of the more than $500 million freeway construction project, according to the California Department of Transportation.

The westbound off-ramps for 10th and 16th streets were closed from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. Thursday and lane reductions were in place between 9 p.m. Wednesday to 5 a.m. Thursday from about 12th Street to just west of the Highway 99 interchange, according to Caltrans District 3. The closures were active while crews worked on two joint seals on the overpass.
The joint seal work a part of the $511.1 million “Fix 50” project that will add carpool lanes and resurface aging pavement between I-5 and just east of Watt Avenue. The project’s cost went about $100 million over budget.

Caltrans expects the project will be completed this month — a year later than initially planned.
No other long-term closures are scheduled for the construction project, according to the project website, though overnight closures and lane reductions for “miscellaneous work” could still occur.
