How your Sacramento commute is suddenly harder: Construction, congestion and crashes Sacramento Bee 5/24/2021 Tony Bizjak, The Sacramento Bee May 24—Motorists, be warned: The dreaded three C's — congestion, construction and collisions — have returned to Sacramento roadways. As the coronavirus pandemic recedes in the rear-view mirror, Sacramento freeways are again filling up, leading to fender-benders and serious crashes as drivers struggle to re-acclimate to the old normal of stop-and-go commute traffic. To add to the degree of difficulty, the state last week launched a historic and highly visible demolition project on the elevated W-X section of the Capital City Freeway, which has required crews to shift lanes to one side and temporarily reduce lane widths by one foot. One driver referred to that section of freeway now as a dangerous "video game."
