Westbound I-8 ramps to SR-67 closed for the weekend

Drivers headed to East County this weekend, beware: Caltrans maintenance crews will close the westbound Interstate 8 (I-8) ramps to northbound state Route 67 (SR-67) and southbound Magnolia Avenue beginning Friday at 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday for excavation work.

Motorists will detour to the West Main Street off-ramp, turn left to the eastbound I-8 on-ramp to the northbound SR-67 or southbound Magnolia Avenue ramps.

The maintenance work schedule is subject to change due to weather, traffic incidents or other maintenance considerations. For real-time traffic information including traffic speed, lane and road closures due to construction and maintenance activities and more, click here.

This excavation work is not part of the Caltrans I-8 pavement and bridge rehabilitation improvement project that closed a large portion of I-8 from La Mesa to El Cajon over the summer.
