Caltrans will close up to three lanes of the Golden State Freeway (I-5) between Calgrove Boulevard and McBean Parkway from 9 p.m. Thursday, July 16 to 5 a.m. Friday, July 17.

The closures are to enable grinding related to a pavement restoration project on I-5 between Calgrove Boulevard and Lake Hughes Road. J. Mcloughlin Engineering, Inc. is the contractor on the $12.5 million project, which started in September 2008 and will be complete in summer 2010.

The project repairs storm damage incurred in the winter of 2007-08. When completed, the pavement will be stronger and will provide a smoother riding surface for motorists.
