Caltrans will close portions of Highway 78 in Vista, California, for the demolition of the Mar Vista Drive bridge. The closure will take place from November 18 to November 23, 2023, with work scheduled to occur overnight. Motorists can expect detours and traffic delays during this period.
The bridge demolition is part of a larger infrastructure improvement project aimed at enhancing safety and accessibility in the area. According to Caltrans, the overnight closures will begin at 10:00 PM and end by 6:00 AM each night. During these hours, drivers will need to utilize detour routes to navigate around the construction zone.
The Mar Vista Drive bridge has served the community for several decades, but recent assessments indicated the need for its replacement. This project not only addresses structural concerns but also aims to improve traffic flow in the region.
Caltrans encourages all drivers to plan their routes accordingly and allow extra travel time. Local businesses and residents have been notified about the impending closures and the associated traffic implications. Community engagement has been a priority for Caltrans as they work to minimize disruptions during the construction phase.
In addition to the bridge demolition, Caltrans plans to implement further improvements to the surrounding infrastructure, which will enhance safety for pedestrians and cyclists. As the project progresses, updates will be provided to keep the public informed about any changes to the work schedule or traffic conditions.
For more information on the ongoing project and traffic updates, residents can visit the Caltrans website or contact their local office. The agency remains committed to maintaining safety and efficiency on California’s highways during this significant construction effort.
