SACRAMENTO COUNTY — Construction work on the Interstate 5 and 80 interchange in North Sacramento will resume this weekend. Slab replacement and pavement work was rescheduled because of the rain.

Drivers should expect delays and plan accordingly, Caltrans says. As a detour to the North Interstate 5 to East Interstate 80 connector, drivers should continue north on Interstate 5 to the Arena Boulevard offramp and turn around to the South Interstate 5 to East Reno Interstate 80 exit.
Caltrns say this project will preserve and extend the life of the existing pavement and improve ride quality.
