Project Background »

In November 2004, The City of Rancho Cordova embarked on the Rancho Cordova Parkway Interchange, its first major roadway infrastructure project, since becoming incorporated in 2003. Working in partnership with Sacramento County and Caltrans, Rancho Cordova will complete three phases of work prior to the start of construction slated for 2011. Phase I – Preliminary Engineering/Environmental Approval began in 2004 and will be completed in early 2010. Phase II – Preliminary Design will begin immediately following and will last approximately one year with Phase III – Final Design scheduled to begin in 2010. Construction of the Rancho Cordova Parkway Interchange is estimated to take approximately two years to complete.

Project Description »

The future interchange located between Sunrise Boulevard and Hazel Avenue, will require right-of-way acquisition on the south side of U.S. Highway 50, between Sunrise Boulevard and Hazel Avenue in the vicinity of the “Your Home Resort” property. The interchange will provide access to U.S. Highway 50 via a “south only” connection to a proposed arterial street that will extend south to White Rock Road. This street will serve the traffic demand of future development south of U.S. Highway 50 and relieve current traffic congestion on Sunrise Boulevard. The right-of-way for the interchange on the north side of the highway was reserved by Sacramento County as part of the original Gold River development. There are approximately eight acres of land available just east of Eureka Village in the Gold River Community.
