Attention San Diego Drivers: Prepare for Major Road Closure
This weekend, locals planning to head west on State Route 52 should reconsider their travel plans.
Caltrans has announced a complete closure of all westbound lanes on State Route 52 (SR-52) from State Route 163 (SR-163) to Interstate 805 (I-805). The closure begins at 9 PM on Friday, June 20, and will continue until 5 AM on Monday, June 23. This is a planned construction project aimed at improving roadway safety and infrastructure, but it will certainly create a detour headache for many drivers.
What to Expect During the Closure
The detour suggested by Caltrans will reroute traffic from State Route 163 to southbound Interstate 15 (I-15), then westbound onto I-8, and northbound I-805, allowing access back to the SR-52 connectors. This complicated route could add significant travel time, so drivers are advised to leave earlier or seek alternative routes if possible.
Nearby residents may also face challenges due to construction noise and lighting during nighttime hours. This added disruption could lead to some frustration, especially for those trying to maintain a quiet weekend.
Weather Conditions and Possible Changes
Although Caltrans has made it clear that weather conditions may force adjustments to the construction schedule, forecasts currently indicate clear skies. Nevertheless, drivers should remain alert for any last-minute changes as the closure date approaches.
Your Weekend Travel Plans
For those planning activities or trips requiring westward travel this weekend, consider this a heads-up. Remaining informed about local traffic conditions can save time and alleviates the frustration often associated with unexpected detours.
Stay connected with local news sources for updates, and plan accordingly to avoid what could become a long and inconvenient journey on your weekend travels.
