Weekend
Closures of I-805 Lanes and SR 54 Connector Scheduled For December 11-14
Beginning the night of Friday, December 11, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) will conduct a weekend long closure of the westbound State Route 54 (SR 54) to southbound Interstate 805 (I-805) connector ramp, and up to 3 inside lanes in both directions of I-805 to upgrade bridge bearing pads on the connector. These improvements are part of the continued investment Caltrans and SANDAG are making in our region’s infrastructure.
For the safety of construction workers and the traveling public, there will also be full closures of northbound and southbound I-805, and the westbound SR 54 to northbound I-805 connector, for 8 hour periods on Friday and Sunday nights in order to safely move heavy equipment into the work areas. The westbound SR 54 Reo Drive on-ramp will be closed for the entire weekend. All closures are expected to reopen to traffic by Monday, December 14, at 5 a.m.
