California travelers are facing significant traffic delays on Sacramento's freeways due to three major construction projects funded collectively at $650 million. These projects aim to repair aged infrastructures, including the I-80 Pavement Rehabilitation and Yolo 80 Corridor Improvements. Caltrans spokesperson Dennis Keaton emphasized the necessity of these repairs to avoid catastrophic failures. Drivers report their commute times expanding dramatically, and nighttime construction has been canceled to minimize noise, exacerbating daytime delays. With completion expected by summer 2026, the ongoing work has become a severe inconvenience for many daily travelers.
"You have to go ahead and make the repairs, when they're out of necessity, because these highways are really aged," Caltrans spokesperson Dennis Keaton said.
"It may be a very major inconvenience, and I would suspect that it is, but this is the work that has to be done right now. It has to be taken care of," Keaton said.
