All southbound lanes in that section of highway will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday night until 5 a.m. Monday morning. Northbound lanes in the same area are scheduled to be closed the weekend of October 13-16 during the same hours.

According to Caltrans, the bridge is at the “end of its service life” and will be replaced with a single-span bridge. Residents should avoid the area and use alternate routes during the closures. Signs will be set up to direct traffic away from the construction sites.
