Caltrans advises area motorists that crews will close all lanes on Interstate 5 in both directions at Genesee Avenue tonight, Oct. 8, from 11 p.m. until 5 a.m. Oct. 9. The closure will allow crews to prepare for the widening of the Genesee Avenue Bridge over I-5.
During the closure, motorists in both directions will be detoured to the Genesee Avenue off-ramp, across the intersection, and then to the on-ramp to re-enter I-5. The Genesee Avenue Interchange Project will replace the existing six-lane Genesee Avenue overpass with a 10-lane structure that will accommodate current and future traffic demands. The project will also widen the freeway access ramps, add an auxiliary lane in the northbound direction on I-5 between Genesee Avenue and Roselle Street and a new bicycle/pedestrian path.
