SR-18 /
Big Bear Blvd
Pavement
Project Continues
San Bernardino, California ____ The California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) continues the paving project on State
Route 18 (SR 18) in Big Bear Lake, from Talmadge Road to Pineview Drive in Big
Bear City.
The actual grind and pave portion of the project
is set to begin Monday August 28th.
The work hours will remain Monday through Thursday from 7:00 A.M. and
4:00 P.M. There will be no lane closures Friday through Sunday. No work will be
done during Labor Day weekend, September 1st until the following
Wednesday, September 6th.
Lane
closures and traffic control will be in place from now until the end of
September 2017, to complete the grinding and paving work in one direction of State
Route-18, each day starting with the median and then the #1 and #2 lanes.
The work will start at either Paine Road (Big Bear Lake) or Stanfield Cut-off (eastward into Big
Bear City) and continue in one direction each day. A two-hour window will be
necessary after the paving is completed to allow the material to set up before
traffic can be permitted on that specific portion of the roadway.
Motorists
are advised that they will experience delays during the grind and pave
operation. Caltrans
staff will be on site to monitor traffic in an effort to minimize delays to
the motoring public, the community and businesses.
All work
is dependent of weather. The entire Big Bear Boulevard
Rehabilitation Project is expected to be completed by the end of October 2017.
