Due to the current weather, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is rescheduling the shifting of the lanes on southbound Interstate 5 (I-5) from Fremont Street to Charter Way to the evening of Monday, May 11, 2015, affecting Tuesday morning commuters. The lane shift is scheduled to be in place for approxi-mately six months.
The #1 (left) and #2 (middle-left) lanes on southbound I-5 will be detoured onto the northbound traffic lanes of the interstate. Southbound motorists must stay in the #3 (middle-right) and #4 (right) lanes for access to the State Route 4/Crosstown Freeway and the Charter Way off-ramp.
Morning commuters should be alert to changes in the road the day of the shift. Alternate routes should be taken whenever possible.
The lane shift is part of the $46 million I-5 Rehabilitation Project. Crews are replacing the existing roadway, which will improve pavement life and provide a smoother driving surface.
This work is scheduled to begin as listed, but is subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather, availability of equipment and/or materials, and construction related issues.
For the safety of workers and other motorists, please Slow For the Cone Zone.
