PRESERVING OUR REGION’S OPEN SPACE | IMPROVING ROADWAY SAFETY AND REGIONAL SECURITY

​Relieving Traffic Congestion

The Connector Expressway will reduce more than 500,000 hours per year of time spent sitting in traffic. It will also save more than $9 million annually in travel time costs and lost productivity and result in reduced congested roadway travel by more than 38 million miles per year.

​Preserving Our Region’s
​Open Space

The Connector Expressway is designed to preserve agricultural land in Sacramento County – maintaining working farmland and the supply of fresh, locally-grown food. The project will also create an interconnected preserve system to ensure the long-term viability of area plant and wildlife species as well as rural ranching operations through the South Sacramento Habitat Conservation Plan.

​Driving Economic Development

The Connector Expressway will safely connect the region’s communities to jobs, housing and a thriving marketplace. The more infrastructure we build, the easier it is for job centers to attract new employers and employees. The Connector Expressway will help attract businesses of all kinds, generating more than $1 billion in new economic output.

​Improving Roadway Safety and
​Regional Security

The Connector Expressway will improve safety by converting two-lane rural roads into a modern four-lane expressway. When completed, the Connector is projected to reduce the crash rate by nearly 40 percent. The Connector will also improve emergency response times for South Sacramento County and will provide an alternate route during critical emergencies.

The Route

​The project’s first phase includes construction of four continuous lanes from Interstate 5 and Highway 99 in Elk Grove to the new Silva Valley interchange at Highway 50 in El Dorado Hills, expanded at-grade intersections at all major access points, and a continuous path for pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians.
