• Interstate 80 to Close in Both Directions Overnight January 27 and 28 For More Raise-80 Overpass Construction The California Department of Transportation is reminding motorists that I-80 will be closed in both directions in during the overnight hours next week as crews raise the Brace Road Overcrossing. Motorists will experience an eight-mile detour during this week’s freeway closure, beginning 11 p.m. January 27, and end at approximately 5 a.m. Wednesday. Same road closure will take place the next night on January 28th and on into the morning on January 29th. Mot The Brace Road Overcrossing in Placer County is the third structure to be lifted. The Brace Road overpass is closed for motorists until Monday, February 9, pending weather. The Raise 80 project continues throughout the rest of 2015 with the increasing the vertical clearance of nine freeway overcrossings on Interstate 80 in south Placer County. The nine overpass structures being raised on I-80 are between Magra Road and Loomis in Placer County. Six of the structures will have the bridge deck raised approximately two feet, and three of the structures will have the roadway below lowered to achieve the necessary clearance. When the project is completed, all involved structures will meet today’s federal clearance standards for high-profile vehicles and national defense, eliminating the need for most high-profile vehicles to use local roads as detours. January 27-29 Freeway Detour Information: Eastbound I-80 all traffic: Take the Sierra College Boulevard off-ramp toward Sierra College Boulevard. Take Sierra College Boulevard north toward Taylor Road. Take Taylor Road northeast toward the I-80/Highway 193 interchange. Head east on I-80 at the I-80/Highway 193 interchange. Westbound I-80 all traffic: Take the Taylor Road off-ramp toward Taylor Road. Take Taylor Road southwest toward Sierra College Boulevard. Take Sierra College Boulevard south toward the Sierra College Boulevard interchange. Head west on I-80 at the Sierra College Boulevard interchange.
