SAN DIEGO — Caltrans construction crews will close the eastbound two right lanes on Interstate 8 (I-8) from Grossmont Boulevard to Marshall Avenue Wednesday through Thursday night from 8 p.m. to 11 a.m. for asphalt repair.

The two left lanes on westbound Interstate 8 (I-8) will be closed Thursday night from 6:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. for lane striping and movement of construction barriers. There will be no full freeway closure.

Caltrans is working to repair storm damage that is a direct result of the recent storms in this area.
