If you’re planning to hop onto westbound Highway 50 via the Stockton Boulevard on-ramp, think again! Starting Friday night at 10 p.m., drivers will face an 11-day closure as Caltrans undertakes some much-needed bridge repairs. This isn’t just a minor inconvenience; it’s a significant detour that could throw a wrench in your plans.
Caltrans doesn’t take these closures lightly, and the work zone will come with a speed limit of 55 mph to keep everything safe and orderly. For those who like a good map, they’ve provided an alternative route: Take the Stockton Boulevard on-ramp to eastbound Highway 50, exit at 65th Street, turn left, and then hop back onto westbound Highway 50. Easy peasy!
Just a friendly reminder: From 9 p.m. on Friday through 4 a.m. on Monday, there’s also a 55-hour lane reduction from 53rd Street to the area between 32nd Street and Alhambra Boulevard. So pack your patience, grab a snack for the road, and be prepared for some extra travel time. After all, who doesn’t love a good adventure on the asphalt jungle?
