As the July 4 approaches, baseball fans are gearing up for what promises to be a riveting series between the Athletics and the San Francisco Giants at Sutter Health Park. Traffic, on the other hand, is set to compete with a game of its own. According to a social media post from the West Sacramento Police Department, the department has laid out a comprehensive traffic plan aimed at managing the increased congestion expected around the stadium on game day.
For those planning to celebrate Independence Day with crackerjacks and home runs, the West Sacramento PD has announced "modifications to the 4th of July traffic plan around the stadium following the start of the game to approximately one hour following the game." Not just the fans, but the traffic will be affected by the game, with closures including eastbound Cabaldon Parkway from Grand to Riverfront, along with Riverfront Street and 5th Street between Cabaldon Parkway and Bridge Street. The department cautions that "significant traffic impacts" are expected and advises those in and around the Bridge District to plan ahead for delays and closures during these times.
The July 4 baseball game between the Athletics and Giants is expected to bring heavy traffic and road closures in West Sacramento. According to the Police Department, changes to normal traffic operations will occur only on Independence Day. Standard baseball traffic procedures and closures will resume for the games on July 5 and 6. Drivers are advised to plan ahead to avoid delays.
For those attending the game or simply trying to get around West Sacramento during the celebratory evening, a map detailing the planned closures was shared alongside the announcement by the Police Department. "This closure will include eastbound Cabaldon Parkway from Grand to Riverfront as well as Riverfront Street and 5th Street between Cabaldon Parkway and Bridge Street," the West Sacramento PD elaborates.
