The Project will go on from April 2015 to April 2016.

California needs to look at Interstate 580, too.  A couple of years ago, InterstateKyle had a youtube video of traveling on Interstate 580 west, then east and that 8-lane interstate needs some SERIOUS rehabbing.

Here's more info on the repaving project on I-5 from Gustine (near Jct. CA 140) north to Tracy (Jct. I-205):

The California Department of Transportation will rehabilitate 40 miles of Interstate 5 (I-5) in Merced, Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties. Work is
scheduled to begin in March 2015 and will continue into March 2016. The $51 million project begins in northern Merced County and runs the length of I-5 through Stanislaus County. It ends at the Tom Paine Slough Bridge in San Joaquin County, just south of the I-205 interchange.

Now if only they could find $$$ sufficient to add a third lane in both directions of Interstate 5 through there (and onward south to the merge with CA 99 near Wheeler Ridge)...

Bingo on the 3-lane treatment of I-5 through the San Joaquin Valley Andy.  My ultimate dream is 4-lanes in each direction and autobahning that freeway from 99/I-5 to I-205/I-5.  Who needs high speed rail when one can have a high speed freeway!

Yes, three lanes each way throughout the Central Valley.  In fact, when bridges have to rebuilt to accomplish that, it would be wiser to build them to accommodate four lanes each way.

I think we'll see CA 99/I-9 upgraded to eight lanes from I-5 to US 50 before I-5 in the Central Valley goes to eight.
Most likely, we'll see I-5 to six lanes from Sacramento to Redding before it goes to eight south of Sac'to.
