UPDATE: Closures Rescheduled for Southbound and
Northbound I-5 Yolo Bypass Bridge Work
Use Signed Detours and Plan for Delays - Commercial Traffic Use Alternate Route
YOLO COUNTY – Construction on Interstate 5 (I-5) has been rescheduled due to
inclement weather and schedule conflicts. The southbound I-5 nightly full closures are
now scheduled to begin on Sunday, October 25, at 9 p.m. with signed detours. The
County Road 22 detour is for local traffic only.
Crews will remove and replace multiple bridge joints along I-5 at the Yolo Bypass north of
the Sacramento River and Sacramento International Airport (SMF).
The contractor will shift operations from northbound and southbound directions.
This construction work will require the bridge to be closed one direction at a time and is
necessary for workers’ and motorists’ safety. Caltrans urges motorists to pay close
attention to advance warnings and detour signs
The northbound I-5 closure should not delay the public from making scheduled
departures. The southbound closure is expected to affect motorists traveling towards the
airport. Motorists are urged to plan their route in advance and allow enough time to reach
SMF for flight departures.
SCHEDULED NIGHTTIME CLOSURES:
• Southbound I-5 closures from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Oct. 25 through Oct. 30
• Northbound I-5 closures from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Nov. 1 through Nov. 6
• Southbound I-5 closures from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Nov. 4 through Nov. 20
Commercial Trucking Detour Route
Local Traffic only Detour Route.
The work zone speed limit will be reduced to 55 mph, and the California Highway Patrol
will be present for traffic enforcement. Work is scheduled as listed, but is subject to
change due to weather, availability of equipment and/or materials, or other construction-
related issues.
