Southbound SR-163 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard Ramp Meters To Be Reactivated Tuesday

SAN DIEGO——The ramp meters at eastbound and westbound Clairemont Mesa Boulevard to southbound State Route 163 (SR-163) will be reactivated beginning Tuesday, according to Caltrans. The meters will operate during the afternoon commute, Monday through Friday from 3-7 p.m. to regulate the flow of traffic onto the highway and help reduce the duration and extent of congestion.

The meters were turned off in 2015 during construction of the SR-163 /Clairemont Mesa Boulevard Interchange Project. The recently completed improvements included reconstructing the on- and off-ramps, adding signalized intersections and widening Clairemont Mesa Boulevard from four to six lanes.
