San Diego area motorists were dealing with some closures of freeway lanes and connector ramps this weekend.
All lanes on northbound state Route 125 at Jamacha Road are temporarily closed until early Monday due to road work, which began at 8:30 p.m. Friday and will continue until at least 5 a.m. Monday, according to Caltrans.
Northbound SR-125 motorists will be diverted to the Jamacha Road off- ramp and will re-enter the freeway using the on-ramp, officials said. Northbound motorists may exit at Jamacha Boulevard-Sweetwater Road, proceed north on Sweetwater Road to Broadway, then east on Broadway to the SR-125 north on-ramp.
“Northbound traffic should consider alternative routes such as northbound Interstate 805 to eastbound State Route 94 to avoid the closure entirely,” Caltrans said.
Additionally, all lanes on southbound state Route 163 from Interstate 8 to Interstate 5 are temporarily closed so workers can pick up litter, trim trees, remove brush and repair damaged pavement until at least midnight Saturday.
The closure includes the eastbound and westbound I-8 ramps to southbound SR-163, and the Washington Street and Robinson Avenue on-ramps to southbound SR-163.
Eastbound I-8 motorists will continue on eastbound I-8 to the southbound I-5 connector ramp and continue on I-5 to the northbound SR-163 ramp.
Westbound I-8 motorists will continue to the southbound Interstate 805 connector ramp and continue on I-805 to the southbound I-15-westbound SR 94 connector ramp to northbound I-5 to the SR-163 connector ramp, according to Caltrans.
San Diego Metropolitan Transit Systems buses will be escorted through the area during the closures.
