New SIGNAL at SR18 and Sheep Creek

In the Community of Phelan

& City of Hesperia

December 2, 2016, San Bernardino, California, The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has scheduled to begin work to install a new signal at the intersection of State Route 18 (SR-18) and Sheep Creek Road in San Bernardino County near the community of Phelan and City of Hesperia. The safety improvement project will also install a pedestrian refuge area at that location.

The $800,000 project was awarded to Highland Construction, Inc. in late September 2016. General utility work began yesterday with no lane closures or impacts to traffic. Work to install the poles and complete pavement work will begin in early December with one-way reversible traffic control during working hours. 

The scheduled hours are: Monday through Thursday from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. and Friday from 5:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.

No night or weekend work is expected.

It is anticipated that these temporary lane closures will continue for up to four weeks, weather dependent. The project is expected to be completed in 2017.

Motorists are advised to plan ahead and add a little extra time to their commute.
