It would take China 15-20 weeks to complete this road.

How about fixing the freeways we have already???

14 people with shovels? It’s definitely going to take more than 20 years.

Seeing a map of the addition would be helpful...

just the way they do it bait and switch. its coming but its gonna take a generation.

15-20 years FUNDING DEPENDANT!!!! The funds should be secured first!! This is how we’ve seen countless projects balloon in budget to be completed WAY after schedule if completed at all. Time and time again.

Took less time to build the Great Wall of China. What a joke

I'm 65 now 20years I won't see it

Sacramento should Deal with their homeless problem.

How much money are they pocketing?

Shoot Sacramento NEEDS a new freeway! Too many road cracks and holes in the street! And the freeway lanes are HORRIBLE! Looks like a 4 year old painted those lanes! You can't even tell which lane is which!

Putting hundreds of millions into new roads even tho the roads we have r destroyed sounds like california

I've heard that similar comment since the late 90s. Bay area people moving into the Sacramento region.

I say Sacramento should create a freeway system that dwarfs that of what we have here in LA

Money from OUR taxes is not a problem; Where they allocate our money, is!

GUARANTEED TRAFFIC JAMS FOR 20 YEARS

Well construction guy.. ul be on social security before you see it become a freeway.

Should be finished just about the time it's obsolete, gotta love California.

We don’t need a connection. We need the current roads fixed widen for traffic flow. Nevermind actual merger lanes. Instead of these short take offs with no way to create space for on coming. Then worry about a connection.

I remember that pinheads in Sacto selling the right of way for the 50 to I-80 connector to developers. They should be in jail.

Ya let's give rich people there own freeway.

pffft. What they need to do is widen business 80 under the railroad overpass just south of the American River.

What a joke and highway 80 is only two lines leaving down town Sacramento by Arden it pugs up all the interchanges

A new freeway that is not free, but will also draw everybody out of the Bay Area into the hills, at the next earthquake or before.

15-20yrs? By that time we will be colonizing on Mars.

How do countries like China build buildings and large bridges in a couple months but takes US years to do stuff like that

It’s about time…..driving from elk grove to 50 is a crapshoot

So basically a mile a year for the next 20 years. Not even a foot a day. Pretty lame if you ask me.

Wow..this is good news!! Will ease the traffic around Sacramento...it's about time...👍👍👍

Yeah let's make sure we'll add a freeway for the rich people why all the homeless continue to be a nuisance

15-20 years to find funding? So all of those extra gas taxes ain't enough ?

Too many people now!!

Anyone remember the fund dependent rail road? 😃 noticed how they took the money and its not talked about anymore.

Elizabeth! 👋😘

Freeways are a bottomless pit. When are we going to make a serious effort to end our dependency on single occupancy vehicles that serve bedroom communities (and they are largely fossil fuel dependent)? Until we take the bold and necessary steps to fight global climate change we’re just postponing the day of reckoning. And it gets harder to find solutions the longer we postpone doing something about it.

Build. A. Goddamn. Train.

What happened to all those gas taxes

Dmv...increased the price..they said using tha increased..in repeair..the freways....wath they do???were is all the money..no body ask...or cuestioning...😡😡😡😡😤😤😤😤

You gotta put barriers around so drivers can't get shot

Hahahaha! This is funny! 😂😂😂

We need hyperloop!!!

Get rid of all these dam Environment reports, thats what takes freeway construction so long. Never exsisted back in the day.

I really wish they would spend some time and money on making the area less dependent on cars for travel. I hate seeing massive new roads projects like this.

Casino is erecting in Elk Grove. New freeway connecting the rich folks from El Dorado Hills to Elk Grove. Hmmmm illuminati🤔

🥰

I was excited to hear we would get a new freeway, they lost at the part that said it would take 15 to 20 years. That's not even funny and a lot of the comments here are spot on. Our infrastructure is a joke. Thank you Democrats.

I like spaghetti..

The amount of time it's going to take to build this thing, 15 - 20 years is insane! And being a government project, delays are to be expected, 25 - 30 years time is more realistic. Anyhow, what a joke! By the time they're done building this relatively short freeway, we might not need it anymore! Seriously! By then we might have already have self driving cars as the norm finally working as visualized. That means having many cars all working in sync along stretches of highway like one functional unit, eliminating traffic with no more unnecessary braking and rubber necking. Moreover, there could be less cars on the road because, for one, some people may prefer to get around in passenger drones (aka 'flying cars'). Secondly, if development efforts on the super fast and cool Hyperloop pan out, lots of people are going to want to go on that, further reducing the amount of cars on the freeway system. Don't be surprised if this proposed new freeway never gets built. This project is not even funded yet! Can you believe that? Yeah, like I said, what a joke!

You don’t even fix the freeways now. PLEASE TELL THEM TO DO ROSEVILLE RD. And Watt ave

It’s going to take 15-20 years? Why the hell did you even bother “reporting” this...NO ONE will be living in this shit hole state then 😂😂😂

Take money from the Train to nowhere. It keeps getting funded with no results.

34 miles of freeway in 15-20 years? If it takes 15 years, that's an average of 2.26 miles of road completed per year (or 32.78 linear feet per day). If it takes 20 years, it's an average of 1.7 miles of road completed per year (or 24.59 linear feet per day). This is a laughably slow build time! Who is in charge here....the same "brain trust" behind the high speed rail project? The funding dependent excuse ensures this will never get finished because the elected geniuses who approved this project have put the proverbial cart before the horse by attempting to build something without the all funding secured first. Not even a bond? Seriously? I'm sure no one will be held accountable for this latest Sacramento County failure in the making.

Go to Pennsylvania and hire a group of Amish men... 'Twill be done in a fortnight.

Can’t fix the existing ones so of course they need to build a new one duh! No money to help homeless even though it’s taken but not spent on homeless so of course a new freeway duh we are just stupid and clearly they know what they are doing.

SCHWARZENEGGER. UNDERSTAND.

Fix 5

Higher Home Cost!!!!!!! Greed, Greed, Greed!!!!!!

Yeah let's fix all the roads before we fix all the problems with homeless people take that money you're going to spend to create this highway and create a homeless shelter it's only going to take 6.4 million dollars and create a homeless shelter when it costs 300 million dollars to create a highway.

Great!!! A new deathway!!!!!!

Yay more Gas tax.

Got to keep them union Democrats working

Only in AMERICA you here this nonsense.......WE ARE DOOMED

So another road for homelessness

Future homeless camps at every overpass, can't wait.

If you’re from the bay go away

No. These types of projects always get into the billions, are busted the minute they are done and are overpriced. Name any project in the last 20 years. Overpriced, broken, and a waste of time

Only in California would it take 15-20 years to build a highway. 🤣 👎

TRUMP IS GONE. DON'T FORGET. MOTORHOME. THE APRINTANCE. YOUR GONE BUDDY.
