Construction crews are currently installing traffic light
structures at the Ramona Street crossing
|
|
|
Please be advised that the railway crossings at Ramona Street and Del Mar Avenue continue to remain closed until October 3 while crews remove the temporary railway track. Once the track is removed, construction crews will then mill both bridges to provide a smooth transition for motorists as they travel across.
During construction, please be advised that traffic on Mission Road near the crossings may be reduced to one lane. In addition, traffic signals may be temporarily turned off. Unless instructed otherwise by construction crews, please treat the intersection as a four-way stop. Detours to both crossings are
available on the city's website, and we encourage you to allow more time for travel while both Ramona Street and Del Mar Avenue are closed.
