Motorists should expect extended delays and plan for additional travel time in both directions. Caltrans urges motorists to use Interstate 5 as an alternate route.

SCHEDULE AND LOCATION:

• Saturday, February 11 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. for emergency pavement repairsPostmile 4.3 to 5.2, south of Twin Cities Road to north of Mingo Road (see map).
