耗资4.6亿！萨城这条高速将扩建，再加两条车道！
（SACBEE）Expect delays: The biggest freeway reconstruction in Sacramento history is about to begin
预计会有延误:萨克拉门托历史上最大的高速公路重建即将开始
The Caltrans construction project to widen Highway 50 in Sacramento was formally launched on Monday, March 22, 2021. The project is estimated to cost $460 million and will add two carpool lanes.
加州运输公司扩建萨克拉门托50号公路的建设项目于2021年3月22日(周一)正式启动。该项目预计耗资4.6亿美元，并将增加两条共乘车道。
Caltrans this week ramps up the most ambitious highway reconstruction in Sacramento history, a four-year effort to modernize and widen Highway 50 from Watt Avenue to the Interstate 5 interchange in downtown Sacramento.
加州运输公司本周开始了萨克拉门托历史上最雄心勃勃的公路重建工程，这项工程历时四年，旨在对从瓦特大道到萨克拉门托市中心5号州际公路交汇处的50号公路进行现代化改造和扩建。
The $460 million project not only is the most expensive in the region’s history, it is also one of the most unusual.
这个4.6亿美元的项目不仅是该地区历史上最昂贵的项目，也是最不寻常的项目之一。
The state will construct a third freeway bridge between the two existing elevated sections of the freeway through downtown, between W and X streets.
该州将在穿过市中心的两个现有高架路段、W街和X街之间修建第三座高速公路桥梁。
The new bridge will be attached to the two existing eastbound and westbound spans, essentially turning the W-X into a nearly block-wide superstructure, allowing space for new carpool or High-Occupancy Vehicle lanes in each direction.
新桥将连接到两个现有的东行和西行桥梁上，基本上将W-X变成一个几乎整个街区宽的上层建筑，为每个方向的高载客率车辆车道留出空间。
To do that, Caltrans will have to slice off the interior concrete section of each of the two existing bridges – basically the center median area – to affix the new bridge.
为了做到这一点，加州交通运输局将不得不切掉两座现有桥梁的内部混凝土部分——基本上就是中间区域——来固定新桥。
The Highway 50 construction project will include new columns in the center of the freeway to support filling an 18-foot gap that exists in sections of the W-X segment between the eastbound and westbound lanes.
50号高速公路的建设项目将在高速公路的中心修建新的柱子，以填补在西行和东行之间的W-X段存在的18英尺的缺口。
That means, starting this week, pushing the traffic lanes to the right in each direction, onto the right shoulders. And, at several junctures over the next year, it means closing some lanes to make room.
也就是说，从这周开始，要把各个方向的车道都向右推，放到右侧。在接下来的一年里，这意味着要关闭一些车道以腾出空间。
Caltrans will do most lane closures at night and have the lanes reopened before the 5 a.m. commute, but some lane closures likely will take place during days as well, mostly on weekends.
加州运输局将在晚上关闭大部分车道，并在早上5点的通勤时间之前重新开放车道，但也有一些车道可能会在白天关闭，主要是在周末。
The project will involve closing some streets at times under the freeway.
该项目将包括关闭高速公路下的一些街道。
A few months ago, Caltrans set up mechanisms to shoo a thousand or more bats and some owls who were living inside the structure. In the next few weeks, several hundred homeless people living in tent encampments under the freeway overpasses will be required to move. The city and Caltrans have come up with some alternative sites for them.
几个月前，加州运输局建立了一套机制，驱赶住在建筑物内的1000多只蝙蝠和一些猫头鹰。在接下来的几周内，住在高速公路立交桥下帐篷营地的数百名无家可归者将被要求搬迁。市政府和加州交通运输局已经为他们提供了一些可供选择的地点。
Also, the Sunday Farmer’s Market has been moved temporarily to the Arden Fair mall parking lot as well. It likely will be able to return to its spot under the freeway at Sixth street in about a year, when work on that section of the project is finished.
此外，周日的农贸市场也被暂时转移到了雅顿集市商场的停车场。大约一年后，当第六街高速公路的部分工程完工时，它可能就能回到原来的位置。
“This is big,” Caltrans spokeswoman Angela DaPrato said, with various improvements planned for “a lot of people: truckers, commuters, students at Sac State, RT light rail riders, Elmhurst residents.”
“这是件大事，”加州交通运输公司发言人安吉拉·达普拉托(Angela DaPrato)说，为“很多人:卡车司机、通勤者、Sac州立大学的学生、RT轻轨乘客和艾姆赫斯特的居民”计划了各种改善措施。
Elmhurst will get a new soundwall, and light rail will get funding for extra service to the city of Folsom.
Elmhurst将会有一个新的隔音墙，light rai将会得到资金来为福尔松市提供额外的服务。
COVID-19 AND COMMUTERS
COVID-19和通勤者
The project has been planned for years. But it is being launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many downtown workers are teleworking from home rather than commuting. That should be a benefit, reducing the number of drivers who are affected by the work.
这个项目已经计划多年了。但该计划是在COVID-19大流行期间推出的，当时市中心的许多员工都在家远程工作，而不是通勤。这应该是一个好处，减少了受工作影响的司机数量。
But, despite that, Highway 50 traffic remains heavy and continues to be clogged, notably in the East Sacramento and Elmhurst areas on workdays. That includes congestion on the W-X freeway where lanes merge near Interstate 5.
但是，尽管如此，50号高速公路的交通仍然很拥堵，特别是在工作日的东萨克拉门托和艾姆赫斯特地区。这包括5号州际公路附近各条车道合并的W-X高速公路的拥堵。
Caltrans officials project that traffic will pick up as the months pass into 2022 and more people begin returning to downtown offices.
加州交通局官员预计，随着时间进入2022年，越来越多的人开始返回市中心的办公室，交通状况将会好转。
The main goal for the project is to extend the existing Highway 50 carpool or HOV lanes from Watt Avenue into downtown where they will end just before Highway 50 hits Interstate 5.
该项目的主要目标是将现有的50号公路拼车或HOV车道从瓦特大道延伸到市中心，在50号公路撞上5号州际公路之前结束。
That will create the longest tandem of carpool lanes in the region, running from El Dorado Hills into downtown.
这将创造该地区最长的拼车车道串联，从埃尔多拉多山到市中心。
The carpool or HOV project will one of two ongoing this year in the region. Caltrans also is adding carpool lanes on Interstate 5 through south Sacramento to the southern edge of downtown.
carpool或HOV项目将是该地区今年正在进行的两个项目之一。加州运输公司还在从南萨克拉门托到市中心南部边缘的5号州际公路上增加了拼车车道。
State highway officials also are doing initial planning work now to extend those carpool lanes on I-5 through downtown, over the American River and through Natomas to Sacramento International Airport.
州高速公路官员现在也在做初步的规划工作，将5号州际公路上的拼车车道延伸到市中心，越过美国河，通过纳托马斯到达萨克拉门托国际机场。
In time, the Interstate 5 lanes through Natomas could be converted into toll lanes, allowing some people to pay for a faster ride into the city, Caltrans officials said.
加州运输部官员说，不久之后，通过纳托马斯的5号州际公路将被改造成收费公路，允许一些人付费以更快的速度进入城市。
