Interstate 5 at Ortega Highway in San Juan Capistrano will undergo full nighttime closures in both directions on Friday, December 6 and Saturday, December 7.
For both nights, closures of northbound and southbound I-5 lanes will be in effect from 11:59 p.m. until 6 a.m. the next morning. A slight detour will direct both lanes of freeway traffic off at the Ortega Highway exit, through the intersection and back onto I-5 at a sequential Ortega Highway on-ramp.
The closures are necessary for Caltrans construction crews to complete grading work on the Ortega Highway bridge, as part of the $86.2 million I-5/Ortega Highway interchange project.
Also on Friday, both westbound and eastbound Ortega Highway will be closed between Rancho Viejo Road and Del Obispo Street, from 11 p.m. until 6 a.m. Saturday.
For the full schedule of nightly closures and planned detours, or for more information on the project, visit the Caltrans District 12 information office website at www.ortega.dot.ca.gov.
