SB I-15 Near Poway to Close Temporarily for Improvements

Two of the region’s busiest freeways will be shut down for construction work over two separate weekends this summer, and motorists are being urged to steer clear of these areas during the closure periods.

“Safety is our main concern during these freeway closures,” Caltrans District 11 Director Laurie Berman said. 

Interstate 15—Southbound

• Closure: State Route 56/Ted Williams Parkway to Rancho Peñasquitos Boulevard/Poway Road.
• When: 7 p.m. Saturday, July 27 through 4 a.m. Monday, July 29.
• Why: Drainage improvements.
• Note: Northbound lanes will stay open.

Interstate 805—Both directions

• Closure: State Route 54 and State Route 905.
• When: 3 p.m. Sunday, August 18 through 5 a.m. on Monday, August 19.
• Why: "So crews can demolish the East Palomar Street Bridge to make way for a new direct access ramp (DAR). The DAR will offer a convenient way for carpoolers and transit to enter the Express Lanes currently under construction on I-805 and access the future East Palomar Transit Station and Park & Ride."
