Zackary Stephens, a Natomas resident, shared his thoughts on the situation, emphasizing the importance of the intersection "Being situated right by 50 and 80 and 5, that's a super important intersection right there."
Drivers should detour Truxel Road from eastbound I-80 to northbound I-5, and Garden Highway from southbound I-5 to I-80.
