Motorists are advised that the Gorman Road on-ramp to northbound I-5 is also closed and will reopen on June 17, 2013. Detour signs direct motorists to access northbound I-5 at the Frazier Mountain Park Road on-ramp. (See the Motorist Advisory dated May 28, 2013, for more information about the on-ramp closure.)
The work is part of a project that is replacing slabs in both directions of I-5 between the Vista Del Lago Road overcrossing and the Kern County Line, a distance of 15.4 miles.
This $100.1 million project, which will be completed in mid-2015, will extend the life of the pavement, reduce maintenance costs and closures, and provide a smoother ride for motorists. The contractor is Griffith/Coffman Joint Venture of Brea, Calif.
Closure information for this and other freeway projects is available on the Caltrans website: http://www.lcswebreports.dot.ca.gov/lcswebreports.
