San Bernardino County commuters should prepare for several major road construction projects in the coming months, as Caltrans continues work on critical infrastructure improvements across key highways. These projects aim to enhance safety, improve roadway conditions, and upgrade facilities to meet modern standards. However, drivers should expect lane closures, occasional full ramp shutdowns, and potential travel delays. Here’s what to expect:
I-15 Southbound Cajon Weigh Station Relocation
Caltrans is progressing with the $25 million project to relocate the southbound Cajon Weigh Station and Truck Safety Check Area. The existing facility is closed, and work will continue behind K-rail barriers. Occasional lane and shoulder closures may be required to move equipment and perform operations. The project is anticipated to be completed by **June 2025**. Motorists are advised to plan ahead and reduce speed in work zones.
I-15 Pavement Rehabilitation: Hesperia to Victorville
A 59-mile pavement rehabilitation project is underway along I-15 from Oak Hill Road in Hesperia to just south of Bear Valley Road in Victorville. Crews will conduct daytime work behind K-rail barriers and nighttime work that requires lane and ramp closures for epoxy striping, rumble strip installation, K-rail patching, and signage placement.
Closure Schedule:
- Southbound lane closures:** 6:00 PM – 6:00 AM
- Northbound lane closures:** 9:00 PM – 9:00 AM
The project is expected to be completed by **Summer 2025**. Law enforcement will be present to enforce work zone speed limits. To avoid delays, drivers are encouraged to use alternative routes such as SR-138 and SR-18.
Bridge Rehabilitation on I-215 and SR-66
Caltrans will begin preventative maintenance on 12 bridges between Iowa Avenue and University Parkway along I-215 and SR-66. The project will improve vertical clearance, install new signage, and strengthen bridge structures.
Scheduled Work:
- February 3 – February 7, 2025: Night work from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM (Monday-Friday)
- Various lane, ramp, and connector closures on I-215 and SR-66
- Expected completion: February 2025
The $5 million project is funded through Senate Bill (SB) 1. Drivers should anticipate lane reductions and ramp closures throughout the project duration.
I-215 Rehabilitation: Colton & San Bernardino
Beginning *February 3, 2025, Caltrans will conduct pavement rehabilitation and safety upgrades on I-215 from 0.2 miles south of I-10/I-215 interchange to Mill Street Undercrossing. Work includes ADA facility improvements and highway safety upgrades.
Closure Locations:
- Full connector closures between I-10 and I-215
- Alternating lane closures along Cooley Drive, Mill Street, and I-10 ramps
- Significant noise and vibrations expected in residential areas
The project is weather-dependent and subject to material availability. Drivers are advised to use alternative routes when possible.
Route 395 Roadway Improvements
Road upgrades are continuing along Route 395 in Hesperia, Victorville, and Adelanto. This $43 million project, funded through SB-1, includes pavement rehabilitation, new changeable message signs, and ADA-compliant upgrades. Work is expected to be completed by Spring 2025.
Closure Schedule:
- Daytime Work: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Sunday-Thursday)
- Night Work: 8:00 PM – 6:00 AM
- NB/SB Route 395 Alternating Lane Closures: From I-15 to El Mirage Rd and from Auburn Ave to Farmington Rd
Drivers are encouraged to reduce speed and remain alert in work zones.
Bridge Deck Rehabilitation on SR-210
From **February 4 to February 6, 2025**, Caltrans will conduct preventive bridge maintenance on SR-210 at various locations in Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Rialto, San Bernardino, and Highland. Work includes concrete overlay repairs, joint sealing, and adding vertical clearance signs.
Scheduled Night Work:
- 8:00 PM – 6:00 AM (Tuesday – Thursday)
- Alternating lane reductions from E. Highland Ave to Victoria Ave
- Full on-ramp closures from E. Highland Ave to EB SR-210
Residents near the construction zones should expect significant noise and vibrations during work hours.
Plan Ahead for Traffic Impacts
Commuters in San Bernardino County should anticipate delays, pay attention to posted signage, and consider using alternate routes when possible. Weather conditions and material availability may impact project timelines.
As these projects advance, drivers are urged to exercise patience and caution to ensure their safety and that of construction workers. Stay informed and plan accordingly to minimize travel disruptions.
