43rd Street Ramps / I-805 Closure Event

Caltrans is closing traffic at the 43^rd St on and off-ramps at Interstate 805 while crews perform routine scheduled road and landscape maintenance. 

As the work is being performed, members of the public will have the opportunity to walk and bike the highway while helping to clean it up and learn more about the Reconnecting Communities: Highways 2 Boulevards Pilot Program. Caltrans, SANDAG, Mundo Gardens, and the Urban Collaborative Project CDC will host this family-friendly event, which will include booths from public agencies and community organizations, live art demonstrations, and other engagement activities. Trash pickers and trash bags are available to beautify the area.

The San Diego Bike Coalition will also lead a group ride to the event from Pepper Park in National City. Attendees are encouraged to take the MTS 955 bus, which drops off at the event entrance and is accessible from the MTS Blue Line/8th Street, Orange Line/Euclid Avenue, or Green Line/SDSU trolley stations.
