SAN DIEGO — Construction crews will fully close the connectors at northbound State Route 125 (SR-125) and westbound/eastbound /State Route 94 (SR-94) for 32 hours beginning Saturday, Oct. 29 at 9 p.m. through Monday, Oct. 31 at 5 a.m.
The northbound SR-125/Campo Road on-ramp will also be closed.
Signs will be posted directing motorists to the following detours:
- Detour for Eastbound SR-94 Connector to Northbound SR-125: Continue travel on eastbound SR-94 and exit at Campo Road/Spring Street. Turn north onto Spring Street to eastbound I-8, to SR-125.
- Detour for Westbound SR-94 Connector to Northbound SR-125: Continue travel on westbound SR-94 to northbound Interstate 805 (I-805) to northbound Interstate 15 (I-15) to eastbound I-8, to SR-125.
- Detour for Northbound SR-125 closure at SR-94: Continue travel on northbound SR-125 to westbound SR-94, northbound I-805 to northbound I-15, and eastbound I-8 to SR-125.
- Detour for Northbound SR-125/Campo Road On-ramp Closure: Continue north on Campo Road onto northbound Spring Street, to eastbound I-8 to SR-125.
The closures are needed so that crews can safely remove and replace concrete slab panels as the first part of a two-year SR-125 Pavement Rehabilitation Project that began construction in early October.
Nearby residents can expect nighttime construction lights, Cal/OSHA-required backup alarms, and noise and vibration from concrete removal and paving operations involving heavy equipment movement.
Most project operations will be suspended from Nov. 1 through May 31, 2023, to avoid adverse effects on curing concrete during cooler temperatures, especially at night.
The work schedule is subject to change due to weather, traffic incidents, or other project considerations.
The SR-125 Pavement Rehabilitation Project will restore ride quality and extend the existing pavement life on a nearly 10-mile section of SR-125 from just south of the SR-125/-SR-94 separation in Lemon Grove to Mission Gorge Road in Santee. The work includes replacing failed concrete slabs, distressed paving, and updating Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps. Construction began in October 2022, with completion expected in fall 2024. The estimated total project cost is $32 million, funded through the Federal Highway Trust Fund and State Highway Fund.
