Key points

• First phase costs $27.4 million. Sacramento County expects bids in August. Work would widen the Hazel Avenue bridge over Highway 50, modify the westbound ramps for a shared-use path and add an eastbound auxiliary lane toward the Folsom Boulevard exit.
• Construction could start spring 2027. The first phase could begin as early as spring 2027 and continue through fall 2028.
• Full project would raise Hazel Avenue. Hazel Avenue would rise above Folsom Boulevard and the nearby light rail tracks, eliminating the street-level intersection, and extend south toward a future master plan development on former Aerojet land.
• Aerojet Road access would change. The existing Aerojet exit would be removed as a separate exit and combined with the Hazel Avenue off-ramp. The ramp would then split, with one branch serving Hazel and the other rising onto a new viaduct.
• Cost up; two businesses likely removed. The overall project is estimated at $161 million, up from $94 million in 2020. County documents show the Chevron station and Cattlemen's restaurant on Folsom Boulevard would likely be removed.
