SAN DIEGO — Caltrans construction crews will close the eastbound La Mesa Boulevard and eastbound Severin Drive on-ramps tonight from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. Additionally, two right lanes on eastbound Interstate 8 (I-8) from Grossmont Boulevard to Marshall Avenue in El Cajon will close tonight from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. for asphalt repair. There will be no full freeway closure.
Residents in the area may hear trucks and beeping from construction vehicles. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration established standards for using backup alarms on construction vehicles and material handling equipment because of the widespread danger posed to people on the site.
