The road work is scheduled to close the westbound Arena Boulevard on-ramp to southbound (Los Angeles) Interstate 5 in North Natomas. It began at 9 p.m. Thursday and will end at 9 p.m. on June 29, according to Caltrans. Motorists should expect delays and plan for additional travel time for their commute.
