Crews are scheduled to continue work next week along I-80 between Troy and Soda Springs as
part of the $97.2 million Soda Springs Pavement Rehabilitation Project. Lane and ramp closures
are scheduled at various times during the day and night. Additional delays are also expected
along I-80 between Monte Vista and Drum Forebay as construction begins on the $146.8 million
Monte Vista Pavement Rehabilitation Project. Lane and ramp closures are scheduled at various
times during the day and night for median barrier work and temporary k-rail installation.
The schedule is subject to change or be delayed due to weather, availability of materials or other
unexpected events.
Caltrans performed an extensive field review of the I-80 corridor in 2023 and found an
unprecedented amount of damage. Several areas exhibited moderate to high levels of rutting
due to chain wear and required immediate repair. Five emergency contracts were executed in
2023 for the repairs, along with an additional four emergency contracts in 2024, totaling $107.4
million. The primary contractors are Teichert, Vanguard Construction, Dees Burke Engineering
Constructors, Granite Construction, and Q&D Construction.
The extended lane closures will help to minimize the duration of the work and improve workers’
safety.
Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 lane miles in 11
Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Caltrans reminds motorists to “Be Work Zone
Alert” and slow in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these
improvements.
The department will issue construction updates on X @CaltransDist3 and on Facebook at
CaltransDistrict3. For real-time traffic, click on Caltrans’ QuickMap or download the QuickMap
