$17 Million Project
Lower Waterman Canyon & State Route 138
California Department
of Transportation (Caltrans) District #8, San Bernardino, Friday July 20, 2018, issued an update that work continues with the
paving and guardrail project on State Route 18 (SR 18) to mill and overlay
pavement and upgrade guardrail on the shoulder. The work is taking place
between Lower Waterman Canyon and State Route 138 (SR-138)/Crestline
Cutoff. The guardrail work has been taking place since last month and the
paving portion of the project began Thursday, July 19th.
The paving project will be on the outside lane first on the northbound
(uphill) SR 18 and then continue to the outside lane on southbound direction of
travel. Once the southbound is complted, work will begin on the inside
lanes. Guardrail work will continue at various locations with lane
closures during the paving.
Motorists are advised that during the
paving there will be necessary traffic holds for up to ten minutes to allow
the paving trucks to stage in the work zone. The closure limits will be
approximately two miles in length and flaggers will be on scene during the
traffic breaks.
California Highway
Patrol is also assisting Caltrans with traffic control and enhanced enforcement.
The work hours are 8:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. Monday through Friday.
Motorists and truck traffic are advised
that the paving will require reduced lane width. Please slow down and pay close
attention while driving through the construction zone.
If possible use State
Route 330 (SR 330) to avoid delays.
All American Asphalt is the paving contractor on the $17 million
project, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2018.
