HAZEL AVENUE/U.S. 50 INTERCHANGE PROJECT

The Hazel Avenue/U.S. 50 Interchange Project is a forecast infrastructure initiative managed by Sacramento County, located within the cities of Rancho Cordova and Folsom. The scope of work involves modifying the existing interchange and implementing the extension and grade-separation of Hazel Avenue over Folsom Boulevard and the Sacramento Placerville Transportation Corridor Joint Powers Authority rail corridor. Additionally, Hazel Avenue will be extended south to a proposed intersection with the future Atlanta Street, and the project includes roadway and pedestrian improvements spanning 2,300 feet of Folsom Boulevard.

This report confirmed that the project will not have a significant environmental effect, supported by adopted mitigation measures and a monitoring plan. Administrative oversight is provided by the Sacramento County Department of Transportation, with Anastasia Shippey serving as the lead agency contact person. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237310 for highway, street, and bridge construction.
