Sacramento drivers, brace yourselves! This weekend, the city is rolling out another 56-hour road closure on Highway 50 as part of the persistent “Fix50” construction project. Kicking off at 9 p.m. on Friday and sticking around until the early hours of Monday, motorists will find themselves facing closed ramps leading to Business 80 and southbound Highway 99. So, if you’re planning to cruise through that area, better rethink those plans—unless you enjoy scenic detours.
In true construction style, the usual work zone speed limit of 55 miles per hour will be enforced, meaning it’s not just the roads that will slow you down. It’s an annoying reminder that progress often involves a little patience, but humor me—wouldn’t it be nice to have a road trip mixtape as we sit bumper to bumper? Perhaps we can all bond over a shared love for terrible radio static while we wait it out!
While the closure might put a hitch in your weekend festivities, it’s a small price to pay for improved infrastructure. So, get ready to plan that alternate route—it might even lead you somewhere new! Just be careful you don’t get too lost; we don’t need another one of those “I ended up in a random diner” stories. How do you feel about all this construction chaos? Is it worth it for the long-term gain, or is it just an ongoing nuisance?
