The Sacramento County Department of Transportation (SacDOT) is alerting drivers to an upcoming road closure at the intersection of Fruitridge Road and South Watt Avenue. The closures will begin on Monday, March 23 at 7 p.m. The roads will reopen each morning at 6 a.m. The closures could run for 5 consecutive nights.
Traffic will be directed to use alternate routes during the closure period. Access will be maintained to those businesses located on the corners of the intersection through existing driveways during the closures; however, the intersection will be closed to all traffic.
The closure is necessary to move forward with construction of the South Watt Avenue Improvement Project. Once completed, the project will expand South Watt Avenue from two to four lanes between Florin Road and Jackson Road (SR-16) with bicycle, pedestrian and transit accommodations. Travelers are asked to follow all posted signs during the detour. SacDOT appreciates the public’s patience as we work to complete this important project.
Detour:
Traffic normally traveling on South Watt Avenue between Jackson Road or Elder Creek Road can either take Hedge Avenue or Florin Perkins Road to bypass the closure.
