February 10, 2023 (Ramona) — Caltrans construction crews will begin making pedestrian crossing ramp improvements in downtown Ramona along Main Street as part of the State Route 67 (SR-67) Pavement Rehabilitation Project. The sidewalks will be compliant with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Nighttime work is scheduled to take place on Monday, February 13, and Tuesday, February 14, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. at the following locations:
• N. Ramona Street and Main Street
• 11th Street and Main Street
• 16th Street and Main Street
• Julian Street and Main Street
The nighttime work includes jackhammering and breaking up of concrete and residents may notice construction-related noise. The evening schedule is set to minimize traffic impacts and increase worker safety as crews work in lanes.
Once the concrete is broken up, crews will switch to daytime work in the same locations for to pour new concrete and upgrade the access along SR-67/Main Street. Each week, new locations will be upgraded to the ADA-compliant ramps.
As a result, travelers will notice that Main Street will be reduced to one lane in the construction zone from 9 a.m. to noon.
More work is scheduled over the next three weeks. As those locations are finalized, Caltrans will notify the community.
While this section of SR-67/Main Street is a residential area, it is zoned as a critical commuter and commercial arterial route.
This work is part of a year-and-a-half-long project to repair and improve 18 miles of travel way and shoulders SR-67 from just north of the San Diego River Bridge in Lakeside to State Route 78 in Ramona.
Other project features include pavement markings at intersections as part of complete street-enhanced crosswalk visibility, modifying existing traffic signal systems. In addition, new and improved guardrails have been installed at 36 locations along SR-67.
Beginning in April, a larger project to repair and improve 18 miles of SR-67 will begin, from just north of the San Diego River Bridge in Lakeside to State Route 78 in Ramona.That work will last through 2024.
The work schedule is subject to change due to weather, traffic incidents, or other maintenance considerations. Travelers are reminded to watch for highway workers and moving equipment and to Be Work Zone Alert.
