"Commuters who drive on a section of Highway 99 in Sacramento County are about to reap the benefits of an $18 million construction project.Where there was once just a stop light at at Highway 99 and Elverta Road, there is now a four-lane overpass that will eliminate the stop-and-go traffic on the highway.\u00A0Analysts estimate it will\u00A0shave five to 10 minutes off drivers' commute times because people won't have to stop for a traffic signal.Caltrans estimates 100,000 people use Highway 99 and Elverta Road every day to get to work.Project organizers said the overpass is a significant milestone and a significant improvement for the regional and local transportation network that will make the stretch of highway safer for commuters, truckers and local drivers for years to come.\u00A0Civil engineer Scott Werth said the project is designed for 20-year growth in the region.The interchange construction was also an economic boost for the area, as it employed more than 610 people during the past 16 months.A ribbon-cutting ceremony will mark the opening of the overpass."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
