Caltrans has announced the demolition of portions of the Mar Vista Drive bridge in Vista, California, which will lead to overnight closures of Highway 78. This construction project is scheduled to take place from November 18 to November 23, 2023. During this period, motorists can expect significant detours and delays as crews work to complete the bridge demolition safely.
The planned closures will affect both directions of Highway 78, with work commencing each night at 22:00 and concluding by 06:00 the following morning. Caltrans has advised drivers to plan alternative routes and allow for extra travel time during these hours. The agency aims to minimize disruptions where possible, but safety remains the primary concern as workers undertake this essential infrastructure project.
Motorists traveling on Highway 78 can expect to see signage notifying them of the upcoming detours. Caltrans encourages all drivers to stay informed about the construction schedule and to follow posted detour routes to ensure a smooth travel experience.
The Mar Vista Drive bridge is a critical structure in the region, and its closure is part of ongoing efforts to enhance safety and improve the overall condition of local roadways. Caltrans is committed to keeping the public updated on any changes to the construction timeline or traffic conditions as the project progresses.
