Levee Improvements: Lower Natomas Basin

*UPDATE:  July 8, 2019*

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced that major levee improvement construction in the Lower Natomas Basin will require extended road closures on Garden Highway beginning July 8.

Garden Highway will be completely closed to all traffic in both directions, requiring drivers to take alternate routes, at the following project areas:

• Underneath the Interstate 5 overpass for up to three weeks beginning July 8 through July 29. Interstate 5 on- and off-ramps at Garden Highway will remain open, but drivers will not be able to cross under I-5.
• Between Northgate Blvd and Truxel Rd, starting July 8 until October 31.

Temporary lane closures and road closures on Garden Highway expected Spring/Summer 2019

When: Spring/Summer 2019

Details: Beginning Friday, May 17, the U.S. Army Core of Engineers will begin work on the Lower Natomas Basin Levee Improvement Project. Traffic will be affected with one lane closures on eastbound Garden Highway underneath Interstate 5 for several weeks as workers replace a waterline. This work is the beginning of a much larger project to reinforce the levee system and improve flood protection around the Natomas area. Future work will involve significant road closures and impacts, which include:

• Garden Highway will be completely closed in both directions underneath the I-5 overpass for about a week beginning in late-June. Traffic will be affected in both directions including from the on- and off-ramps to I-5. Exact dates will be announced as the project progresses.
• Full road closure of Garden Highway between Northgate Blvd. and Truxel Rd. has been delayed due to significant rain from the past winter and spring. The full road closures are planned for early summer and will extend three to four months. Exact dates will be announced as the project progresses. A ditch approximately 75 to 125 feet deep will be dug down to bedrock along Garden Highway and filled in with a slurry seal retaining wall to protect the levee from flood waters.
• Construction crews are also developing staging areas in two locations on Azusa Street.

For the latest project information please visit: www.NatomasLevees.com. You can also follow Natomas Levee construction progress on Facebook (www.facebook.com/SacramentoDistrict) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/USACESacramento).

It is important to note that upcoming road closures, particularly of Garden Highway and West El Camino Avenue, will result in increased traffic and likely longer commutes; however, Garden Highway and West El Camino will never have sections closed at the same time.

Rio Linda Boulevard Bridge Replacement & Main Avenue Realignment Project

When

June 24, 2019 through December 1, 2020

Where

In and around the intersection of Main Avenue/Rio Linda Boulevard

Details

The project will construct a new bridge to replace the existing structurally deficient bridge. Magpie creek and Main Avenue will both be shifted to the south to create a “squared up” intersection.  The intersection will also be widened to accommodate dedicated turn pockets, bike lanes, and sidewalks/ramps.

Construction is anticipated to last for two construction seasons with completion in late 2020.

Main Avenue and Rio Linda Boulevard will both maintain one lane in each direction during construction (as it exists today). Cyclists and Pedestrians using the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail will be detoured onto Rio Linda Boulevard for several months in the early stages of the work, so the creek can be realigned, and the existing bike/pedestrian bridge can be removed making way for the new bridge and creek alignment.
