Penryn Road Overcrossing Lift Dates

 

Construction crews will close the Penryn Road Overcrossing this coming Sunday, November 9 to begin preparing the structure. The overcrossing is projected to reopen on Saturday, November 29.

 

Interstate 80 at Penryn Road is scheduled to be closed to all traffic overnight each night for six hours on November 12 and November 13 from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. for the lifting process. 

During the 2-night lift process, all I-80 traffic will be detoured through Highway 193.  The Newcastle Road, Penryn Road, and Horseshoe Bar Road on-and off-ramps will be closed on I-80 in both directions. I-80 eastbound traffic take the Sierra College Boulevard off-ramp, I-80 westbound traffic utilize the Taylor Road off-ramp. This detour is between 4 to 15 miles depending on how far the closest available off-ramp is to the exit motorists need.

Be Work Zone Alert

About the Vertical Clearance "Raise80" Project
This project will increase the vertical clearance of nine overpasses on I-80 between Magra and Loomis. Six of the structures will have the bridge deck raised and the remaining three structures will have the roadway below lowered to achieve the necessary clearance. When complete, all structures will meet today's federal clearance standards for high profile vehicles and national defense.
