El Centro, Calif. — Construction crews will close lanes on eastbound Interstate 8 (I-8) in El Centro Thursday April 20th from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. for bridge rehabilitation.
The closures are part of an ongoing Caltrans project to upgrade several bridge decks on Interstate 8 (I-8). The work includes resurfacing the bridge deck, replace bearings at bridge hinge locations, as well as replace approach slabs, defective guardrail, and seismic bearings.
Motorists are reminded to be Work Zone Alert if traveling in the area and to watch for highway workers and moving construction equipment.
The construction schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions, traffic incidents, or other construction-related reasons.
