Description
Poor weather conditions have led to multiple road closures, sinkholes and infrastructure damage across Southern California on Wednesday.
That includes State Route 78, which will likely impact the evening commute of many San Diegans because of closures in both directions.
"We have a culvert that failed, that we have an emergency contract to correct," said Shawn Rizzutto, an engineer with Caltrans. "We have about 12 inches of depression that we’re going to need to repave back and we’re going to go in and replace the culvert."
When CBS 8 last spoke to crews on the ground, they said the right two westbound lanes just east of El Camino Real remain closed, while going eastbound only the right lane is still closed.
However, Caltrans now says that all westbound lanes of SR-78 between College Boulevard and El Camino Real indefinitely for emergency sinkhole repair work. Eastbound lanes will then be closed once the westbound work is completed.
