Motorists are reminded of a 45 mph speed limit and narrow lane widths during the Extended Weekend Closures.
This freeway segment is a designated Construction Zone where a lower
45 mph limit will be enforced by the California Highway Patrol.
Due to narrow lane widths, oversized loads are not permitted. Plan ahead and use alternate routes and detours.
The closure schedule is weather-permitting and is subject to change.
