The Fix 50 project first began in 2021. Here's what Caltrans spokesperson Sergio Ochoa Sanchez told CBS News Sacramento last summer: "We are aiming to finish or complete this project by the end of this year."
"The end completion date for the whole project, we are aiming to be summer of 2026," Ochoa Sanchez said.
Throughout the project, there have been complications. CBS News Sacramento first reported last July that a section of the freeway was built with a bad batch of crumbling concrete and needed to be replaced.
The project's original cost estimate was just under $400 million. That's now ballooned to more than $500,000.
What work still needs to be finished?
"We need to do some landscaping work, some electrical work, some painting," Ochoa Sanchez said. "There is still work that's going to be happening on the on-ramps and off-ramps."
"We're aiming to have the concrete barrier completed by the middle of January," Ochoa Sanchez said.
"The goal is to have a project that will last 100 years or more," Ochoa Sanchez said.
Caltrans says there could still be some additional lane and ramp closures during nighttime hours, but they do not expect any more 55-hour closures that last an entire weekend.
