One of the largest freeway closures in Sacramento history is underway as Caltrans aims to repair a busy section of State Route 99 in just 99 hours. The project began June 11 at 8 p.m., when the agency closed northbound and southbound SR 99 from 47th Avenue in Sacramento to the U.S. Highway 50 Connector. The freeway will reopen on June 16.
The $5.9-million “FixSac99” project will replace a 62-yr-old bridge deck on SR-99 at 21st Avenue.
