FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Natomas Arena Boulevard On-ramp Scheduled for Closure

On-ramp to Southbound I-5 Closed for Seven Days

SACRAMENTO COUNTY – Caltrans is alerting motorists that traffic-interfering work is scheduled to close the eastbound Arena Boulevard loop on-ramp to southbound Interstate 5 (I-5) beginning Thursday night for realignment, widening and paving work.

The work is scheduled for seven days beginning 8 p.m. Thursday, July 18 through 8 p.m. Thursday, July 25. No two consecutive ramps will be closed concurrently. The extended closure is necessary for worker and motorists’ safety.

LOCATION:

Eastbound Arena Boulevard slip on-ramp to I-5 southbound (Los Angeles) in North Natomas.

DETOUR:

Motorists can continue eastbound to East Commerce Way and make a U-turn at the stoplight to use the westbound Arena Boulevard loop on-ramp to southbound I-5 (Los Angeles).

Motorists can also avoid Arena Boulevard and use the Del Paso Road on-ramps as an alternate route for southbound I-5.

Nearby residents should expect to hear loud, intermittent noises from heavy construction equipment, including vehicle back-up warning alarms.

The extended lane closures will help to minimize the duration of the work and improve workers’ safety. For more information on each project visit Caltrans District 3 Current Projects. The schedule is subject to change or be delayed due to weather, availability of materials or other unexpected events.

Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans reminds motorists to “Be Work Zone Alert” and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.
