SAN DIEGO — State Route 78 (SR-78) between San Pasqual Academy in Escondido and State Route 67 in Ramona will be reduced to one lane in one-mile increments Monday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. for dry brush removal, according to Caltrans. Work on the seven-mile stretch of SR-78 will continue through Friday, Sept. 30.

Highway workers with flags will be in place to direct motorists one direction at a time onto the single open lane. Pilot vehicles may also be used to escort traffic on the single open lane.

Drivers may experience delays depending on traffic queues and are advised to allow additional travel time to reach their destinations.

The work schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions, traffic incidents or other project related reasons.

Caltrans thanks motorists and community members for their understanding as crews perform this critical dry brush and vegetation reduction.

Please be Work Zone Alert if traveling in the area and watch for highway workers and moving maintenance equipment.
