Multi Purpose Corridor Projects

Vicinity Map

Watt Avenue @ US 50 Interchange

Project Description

This is a State Highway improvement project to modify the existing interchange on U.S. 50 at Watt Avenue, and the intersection of Folsom Boulevard and Watt Avenue. Improvements will be based on the South Watt Area Transportation Study, which is developing a master plan for improvements in the Watt Avenue corridor between the American River and State Route 16.

The project will modify the existing interchange to ease traffic congestion and improve the mobility for all modes of travel, including bicyclists and pedestrians. The project will include an exclusive transit lane on Watt Avenue from La Riviera Drive to the light rail station at Manlove Road. It will also construct a bicycle/pedestrian pathway that is completely separated from vehicle lanes and feature tunnels underneath freeway on and off ramps.
