I-15 Off- and On-Ramp to West Bernardo Drive
Closed During the Day on Thursday and Friday
SAN DIEGO – The southbound Interstate 15 (I-15) off-ramp to West Bernardo Drive will be closed this Thursday and Friday, from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The southbound on-ramp to I-15 from West Bernardo Drive will also be closed.
The ramp closure will allow crews to work on drainage in the area of the bridge, which is under construction over I-15 at Highland Valley Road (also known as the Pomerado Road Bridge. Motorists who normally use this exit will be directed to use the next off-ramp at Rancho Bernardo Road. After exiting the freeway, motorists can turn right at the end of the ramp and get onto West Bernardo Drive.
This work is part of a $427 million effort to build the “Middle Segment” of the I-15 Managed Lanes freeway improvement project. When completed and opened to traffic by late 2007 or early 2008, the freeway will feature state-of-the-art lanes in the roadway median, which will service carpools, multi-occupant vehicles and transit. Single-occupant vehicles will also have access to the managed lanes for a fee.
Caltrans will make every effort to minimize any disruption to the public during this closure. For more information call the I-15 Managed Lanes Hotline at (866) 890-1397.
