To replace an aging bridge deck, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will close northbound and southbound Route 99 from 47th Avenue to the U.S. Highway 50 connector during that time period (see map PDF).
Rerouted traffic along Stockton Boulevard is expected to increase congestion around the UC Davis Medical Center campus, so please plan ahead accordingly. UC Davis Health employees coming from South Sacramento and Elk Grove should allow extra time to get to work.
Patients with appointments during this time frame who live south of the Medical Center, Lawrence J. Ellison Ambulatory Care Center, and Midtown Clinic will receive notifications of the highway closure later this week, via text message and MyUCDavisHealth.
