U.S. Highway 50 traffic shift scheduled in Northern California to last until 2025

(FOX40.COM) — Caltrans is continuing work on the $483.5 million U.S. Highway 50 “Fix50” Project, which includes a long-term traffic shift on westbound US-50 starting at 9 p.m. on Dec. 2 and last through 2025.

According to Caltrans, the new traffic shift is required so crews can remove the existing pavement, install drainage, lower the roadway for increased clearance under the overcrossing bridges, and rehabilitate the highway with reinforced concrete pavement on roadways.

The traffic shift will be from 39th Street to 24th Street, redirecting traffic to two left lanes and three right lanes. The left two lanes will then split again, with one lane to the left of the concrete median barrier and one lane to the right. The shift is expected to last until May 2025.

Caltrans advises motorists to be alert for signs indicating the traffic shift to know in advance which lane to take. Motorists looking to use the Stockton Boulevard off-ramp, the northbound and southbound Business 80 connector, and the 26th Street off-ramp need to stay in the far-right lanes.

Motorists traveling through the work zone should expect lane restrictions and be aware of commercial work vehicles traveling in and out of the area, according to Caltrans. The work zone speed limit has been reduced to 55 mph and the California Highway Patrol will be present for traffic enforcement.

Caltrans said work is scheduled to begin as listed but is subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather, equipment and/or materials availability, and construction-related issues. For more information on this project, text “Fix50” to 74121 or visit
