Lane Closures on SR-78 in Escondido for Pavement Work

Caltrans has announced the closure of all lanes on SR-78 in Escondido to facilitate important pavement rehabilitation work. The closures will occur between SR-78 and I-15 North Broadway on the nights of March 13 and 14, 2024, from 22:00 to 05:00.

These planned lane closures aim to enhance road conditions and ensure the safety of drivers. Caltrans emphasizes that these repairs are necessary to maintain the infrastructure and improve overall driving experiences on this busy route.

Drivers are advised to plan alternative routes during these hours to avoid delays. The agency recommends using local streets or other highways as detours. Caltrans has also indicated that the work may be subject to weather conditions, which could affect the schedule.

As roadwork progresses, updates will be made available through Caltrans’ official channels. Public safety remains a priority, and the agency encourages motorists to exercise caution in the construction zones.

This initiative is part of Caltrans’ ongoing efforts to maintain and improve California’s highways. The agency regularly undertakes such projects to address wear and tear and ensure that road conditions meet safety standards for all users.
