Lane closures, traffic delays and detours on Carlton Hills Boulevard are expected to occur for more than two months beginning April 25 to allow for the installation of a SDG&E natural gas pipeline.
The project, which will occur between Mission Gorge Road and Carlton Oaks Boulevard, is actually the second phase of a pipeline replacement job completed last year on Mission Gorge Road.
All driveways and streets with access to Carlton Hills
Boulevard will remain open during the pipeline installation, which is expected
to finish in July.
Motorists can expect to see electronic message boards,
traffic control cones, signs and flaggers to assist in the flow of traffic.
Work occurring north of the San Diego River bridge will take
place between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., Monday through Friday. When the project moves
south of the bridge, construction will take place Monday through Saturday from
7 a.m. to 5 p.m and from 9.m. to 6 a.m.
Monday through Friday.
Natural gas service will not be interrupted during the
project.
SDG& E has advised residents that they may smell the
odor of natural gas and hear a loud, steady noise when workers are releasing
natural gas from the pipeline. Anyone
with concerns about the gas odor can contact SDG&E at 1-800-611-7343.
