San Diego – As a California car accident attorney, I understand that road construction and closures can increase the risk of accidents. I want to alert drivers in the San Diego area about upcoming closures on La Jolla Village Drive that may affect their commute this weekend.
According to FOX 5 San Diego, Caltrans announced that they’ll keep closed the eastbound and westbound La Jolla Village Drive on-ramps to southbound I-5. Thid due to pavement work scheduled from 9:00 PM on Friday, November 22nd, until 5:00 AM on Monday, November 25th.
In addition, they will also keep closed the far right southbound lane of I-5 from La Jolla Village Drive to Nobel Drive, during the same time.
Caltrans is advising drivers to use northbound I-5 and exit at Genesee Avenue. Then turn left, and take the southbound I-5 on-ramp as an alternate route.
It’s important for drivers to be aware of these closures and plan their routes accordingly. Construction zones can be confusing and hazardous, so it’s crucial to exercise caution. Please remember to reduce speed, and pay close attention to signage and traffic patterns.
