The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is set to close portions of State Route 14 between Santa Clarita and Palmdale next week for a pavement rehabilitation project, officials said Thursday.
“The target date for the construction to end is early June,” said Jeremiah Teves, spokesperson for the Department of Traffic.
The project is set to improve the condition of the lanes and create a smoother ride for motorists, according to officials.
The project includes replacing concrete slabs, grinding and striping both directions of the 14 Freeway between the Santa Clara River and Technology Drive, according to officials.
The project requires closing two lanes to facilitate a safe work zone to protect workers and motorists.
All closures are weather-permitting and subject to change.
Myers and Sons Construction is the contractor on the $6.6 million pavement rehabilitation project and is estimated to be completed by spring 2019, according to officials.
Closures are scheduled nightly on Monday, April 15 through Saturday, April 20 from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., according to officials.
Motorists should expect delays and are strongly advised to plan ahead, and to use alternate routes, and avoid the area if possible.
Additionally, motorists can check traffic conditions before they leave by visiting the Caltrans Quickmap.
