Final preparations are underway to open another new on-ramp to Interstate 215 from the expanded Newport Road bridge.
City officials announced that the new on-ramp to the freeway for motorists traveling eastbound on Newport Road will open on Thursday. Instead of turning left at a signal as they do now, motorists will turn right onto a looping on-ramp that will take them onto the northbound freeway.
Drivers can expect intermittent lane closures while this work is completed. Per Caltrans policy, there will be flashing red traffic signals around the construction zone the first couple hours the on-ramp is open on Thursday.
In addition, Newport Road will be closed between Antelope Road and Haun Road from 10 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m. Saturday while crews continue work on the expansion of the bridge.
I guess this is progress. This bridge has been a running joke with our grown kids since it was first widened from 2 lanes to 4 lanes, now years later, from 4 to 8? Coincidentally, the kids visiting from out of the country, came home during each construction project. My daughter exclaimed; "when are they going to finish this D*** thing? Our son, "if they new the area was going to grow, wht didn't they just expand it to 8 lanes in the first place?"
