Northbound Business 80 remained closed over the American River throughout the day as part of a major construction project. The closure comes during a busy weekend marked by graduation celebrations and a packed baseball schedule, drawing thousands of visitors to the region.
At Sutter Health Park, large crowds arrived for what is expected to be a near-sellout weekend baseball series. Many fans said getting to the ballpark required extra planning.
The closure affects northbound Business 80 over the American River, as well as the E, J, and P Street on-ramps.
"I knew that Business 80 was closed and we live out in Orangevale, so we took Highway 50 here and it was smooth sailing," said Lynne Jones. "No traffic until you hit the merger right at downtown."
The project also includes installing sheet piles around bridge piers and constructing a new bicycle path.
"We're in the final stages of this project. It's coming out very nicely," said Sergio Ochoa Sanchez of Caltrans. "The bike path is almost completed. This is just part of the final stages of the completion of the project, which is aimed to be finished by the summer of this year."
"It has to be done," Oliver said. "I'd rather have roads that are being worked on than really rough roads, so I'm for it."
"I used to avoid Highway 50 at all costs, but now since it's pretty much done, it's smooth sailing," she said. "I'll be happy when all the construction is done."
