The Ortega Highway Project is entering its last year of construction, and Caltrans is preparing to shift traffic onto the newly constructed bridge before the end of 2014. Unfortunately, this final stage of construction is going to require some significant road closures that will aggravate driving conditions in and around the Ortega/I-5 interchange.
First, a reminder of a full free way closure tonight:
