Caution Needed on Prospect Avenue

Watch for the “cone zone” on Prospect Avenue, and remember to slow down.

The speed limit has been temporarily lowered to 25 mph where construction is underway to accommodate a pavement and utility improvement project between Cuyamaca Street and Magnolia Avenue.  Large lighted signs have been put into place to alert motorists that they are entering a construction zone, where fines for traffic violations are doubled.

Traffic currently is being routed around construction zones on the north side of the street near Tumbleweed Terrace and Siesta Lane.  Beginning Saturday, Feb. 22, the cones will be moved and traffic will be diverted away from construction activity on the south side of Prospect.

Questions or feedback about the work can be directed to Senior Civil Engineer Toby Espinola at (619) 258-4100 ext. 174.
