A major pavement rehabilitation project resumes Monday on the 5 Freeway north of Camp Pendleton, and it's expected to bring overnight delays for motorists.
Three of four lanes will be closed in both directions over two-mile sections between the Aliso Creek rest area and the San Diego-Orange county line starting at 7:30 p.m. on January 5, according to a statement from Caltrans.
The closures will last until 5 a.m. Monday through Thursday. On Friday, lanes will be closed from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. On Saturday, the closures will last from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m.
Because no other route extends through Camp Pendleton, the only alternative for drivers at that time will be to take a long detour using the 15 Freeway through Corona and Escondido.
Support for LAist comes from
The $43 million I-5 Ocean View Rebah Project is scheduled for completion in winter 2016, with intermittent delays until then.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
