(KGTV) — Caltrans is alerting drivers ahead of a construction project along Interstate 15 in North County.
According to the agency, the right southbound lane and shoulder of I-15, between state Route 78 and Deer Springs Road, will be closed for eight months beginning Thursday, Feb. 16.
Caltrans added that starting Thursday, Feb. 23, "temporary concrete barriers will be in place to separate traffic from construction work replacing existing pavement with Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP)."
The closure is part of a larger I-15 replacement project that started in the summer of 2022 and is expected to be completed by early 2025.
“The project will provide a superior, long-lasting roadway that improves driving comfort and reduces future maintenance and construction efforts,” Caltrans said.
The projected cost of the project is $71.7 million.
