CalTrans Updates Hours for Highway 18 Work. Lake Gregory Dam Construction will affect 18.

From a CalTrans Press Release:

 

SAN BERNARDINO - The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) continues
with the paving and guardrail project on State Route 18 (SR 18) to mill and overlay
pavement and upgrade guardrail on the shoulder.  The project is taking place between
Lower Waterman Canyon and State Route 138 (SR-138)/Crestline Cutoff.

The contractor is working to complete the paving on the upper portion of SR 18 in
both directions over the next two months before winter.  Pavement work will continue
next week on the uphill portion of SR 18 from Upper Waterman Canyon to SR 138 and
then proceed downhill on SR 18 to Upper Waterman Canyon.  The contractor will then
pave the lower portion of the route in both directions.

The work hours for the project have been changed to 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday until further notice to expedite paving.

The County of San Bernardino County Special District project for Lake Gregory Dam
Rehabilitation project will begin next week (for to
http://www.abetterlakegregory.org/ for information).  Increased truck traffic on SR
18 for the Lake Gregory Dam project and Caltrans paving project will cause extreme
delays for motorists during work hours.

Motorists are advised that during the paving there will be necessary traffic holds
for up to ten minutes to allow the paving trucks to stage in the work zone.  The
closure limits will be approximately two miles in length and flaggers will be on
scene during the traffic breaks.  The California Highway Patrol is also assisting
Caltrans with traffic control and enhanced enforcement.

Motorists and truck traffic are advised that the paving will require reduced lane
width. Please slow down and pay close attention while driving through the
construction zone.  If possible use State Route 330 (SR 330) to avoid delays.

All American Asphalt is working on the $17 million project, which is expected to be
complete by the end of 2018.  Know before you go!  Stay on top of roadwork in the
