SAN DIEGO —Caltrans construction crews closed all northbound lanes of State Route 67 (SR-67) in the Lakeside/Ramona area Tuesday morning just north of Slaughterhouse Canyon Road to just south of Foster Truck Trail for emergency sinkhole repair work. All traffic is using the southbound lanes with one-way traffic control. Northbound lanes are expected to remain closed through Wednesday. An exact completion time is not known.
A sinkhole, approximately six feet deep, was discovered under northbound lanes Tuesday morning around 3:00 a.m. during scheduled paving operations. It is believed the damage is the result of underground runoff from this winter’s storms.Caltrans construction crews closed all northbound lanes of State Route 67 (SR-67) in the Lakeside/Ramona area Tuesday morning just north of Slaughterhouse Canyon Road to just south of Foster Truck Trail for emergency sinkhole repair work.
