Road Closure Alert 🚧
Beginning Monday, June 1, a section of the roadway near Zion Avenue and Riverdale Street (pictured) will be temporarily closed in both directions.
This 24/7 closure will allow for pipeline construction.
ICYMI: A major milestone was reached on the East County AWP Project with installation of the final 3,500-foot stretch of wastewater pipeline last month.
Crews used horizontal directional drilling (HDD), a trenchless method that minimizes surface disruption, to install the pipeline near Lake 1 at Santee Lakes and connect it to the East Mission Gorge Pump Station at State Route 52 and Mission Gorge Road.
HEADS UP- There is a new pedestrian walkway on the east end of Mission Trails Regional Park along Father Junipero Serra Trail near Bushy Hill Drive.⚠️
This temporary pathway is to help pedestrians safely travel around the construction zone. 🥾
REMINDER: The far right lane on westbound Mission Gorge Road between SR-125 and SR-52 is closed 24/7 due to construction at the East Mission Gorge Pump Station. 🚧
Please reduce your speed to 25 mph through the work zone. 🚗
