Use I-80 to US -50 East to I-5 North, to Richards Blvd or “J” Street off ramps
Avoid using US-50 East into the work area.
If traveling from Natomas/Davis to Rancho Cordova/Folsom:
Use I-80 East to Watt Ave exit-South to Business-80 on-ramp to US-50 East.
Do not use I-5 to US-50 East.
If traveling through the project area during Phase 2 (Closed connector ramps to Business-80 and Freeway-99):
