(Interstate 8 Construction)...Scheduled to last through the summer.

Caltrans construction crews have reduced traffic to one lane in both directions on Interstate 8, just east of Vanderlinden Road, for two miles eastward. Crews will widen freeway shoulders and install temporary railing and crossovers on I-8 just east of Vanferlinden for about one mile. Officials say motorists on eastbound I-8 will continue to use westbound lanes of the Interstate. Motorists traveling westbound will continue to use the existing detour on Evan Hewes Highway. This traffic switch is expected to extend through summer. Caltrans says occasional temporary lane and shoulder closures along I-8 will continue near Highway 111 to approximately one mile west of Orchard Road/Highway 7 to complete the work.
