The California Department of Transportation, known as Caltrans, will close sections of Highway 78 for bridge demolition work from November 18 to November 23, 2023. This operation involves the removal of portions of the Mar Vista Drive bridge in Vista, leading to significant overnight closures and necessary detours for motorists.
Drivers using Highway 78 should prepare for disruptions during this period. Caltrans plans to execute the demolition work overnight to minimize daytime traffic impacts. The closures will commence each evening, creating a safer environment for workers and allowing for efficient execution of the demolition.
During the closure, traffic will be rerouted via local roads. Motorists are advised to plan their routes accordingly and allow extra travel time to avoid delays. Caltrans emphasizes the importance of adhering to posted detour signs and instructions from traffic management personnel to ensure safety for all road users.
The demolition of the Mar Vista Drive bridge is part of an ongoing infrastructure improvement project aimed at enhancing transportation safety and efficiency in the region. This project reflects Caltrans’ commitment to maintaining and upgrading California’s transportation network, which is crucial for economic and public safety.
Residents and commuters are encouraged to stay informed about the closure details and potential delays by checking Caltrans’ official channels. Updates will be provided as the project progresses, with the goal of minimizing inconvenience while ensuring the successful completion of the demolition.
For further inquiries about the project or to seek real-time updates, individuals can visit the official Caltrans website or contact their local office.
