"Whether it's in the daytime or nighttime, they're always doing construction, it's like never ending, it's a nightmare"
Beginning Friday night, Caltrans plans a three-day closure of three westbound lanes to make the repairs.
The damage has been spotted in the two right-hand lanes currently in use between 10th Street and the Interstate 5 interchange.
What's causing the Fix-50 concrete to crumble?
Caltrans engineers said the new segment was laid down in August 2023, but it was poured too thick and was not properly vibrated during placement.
Repairs won't be easy. A 280-foot section of the roadway will have to be torn out and replaced. That's the length of three basketball courts.
"This is the first time that it's happened on this particular project," Sanchez said.
"Sometimes, I think a lot of these people don't understand what an inconvenience it's doing to us," said driver William Baker.
The segment of Highway 50 between I-5 and Watt Avenue is still on schedule to be completed by the end of the year.
