Projected Penryn Road Overcrossing Lift Dates

Last month, Caltrans completed the Magra Road Overcrossing lift process. The Magra Overcrossing was the first structure to be lifted in the Raise80 project. The second structure to be lifted is the Penryn Road Overcrossing.

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

Interstate 80 at Penryn Road is tentatively scheduled to be closed to all traffic overnight for six hours on November 12 and November 13 from 11:00PM to 5AM for the lifting process. A 10-mile detour will be in effect.

During the lift process, all I-80 traffic will be detoured through Highway 193 via Sierra College Boulevard and Taylor Road.

Reminder: The on and off-ramps at Rollins Lake Road/Magra Road on westbound I-80 is closed until October 31. Motorists advised to take the Secret Town exit.

Be Work Zone Alert

We remind drivers to slow their speed in the work zone. Workers are working within inches of live traffic. Traffic is unpredictable and sudden slowing or stopping may occur. Please do not peer into work zones as this can cause collisions if drivers are not paying attention to their driving.

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.
