(FOX40.COM) — The California Highway Patrol has released the exact location of the DUI checkpoint that will take place in Sacramento Friday night.

The CHP DUI checkpoint will be one of two held in Sacramento Friday night, with the other being operated by the Sacramento Police Department in Midtown from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Beginning at 9 p.m., CHP will be stationed on westbound Florin Road, just west of the Florin Road Mall, as they conduct “proactive enforcement” along the roadway.

CHP officers will check sobriety level and driver’s license at the checkpoint while warning drivers of the dangers of drinking and driving.

The DUI checkpoint in Sacramento is in addition to the maximum enforcement period the agency is conducting across California during the July 4 holiday weekend.

During the 2023 MEP period, the CHP reported that nearly 70 people were killed in crashes on California roads over the July 4 weekend. The agency also issued more than 9,000 citations and made more than 1,200 arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol.
