Southbound I-15 Closed Tuesday, Wednesday Nights Near Poway

Southbound Interstate 15 (I-15) main lanes will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday night from Mira Mesa Boulevard to Carroll Canyon Road for construction of an overhead temporary wood and steel structure that will support a Direct Access Ramp (DAR), according to Caltrans.

The closure will take place Tuesday and Wednesday night at 11 until the next morning at 5. Southbound I-15 motorists will be detoured east on Mira Mesa Boulevard, then south on Black Mountain Road to access I-15 from Carroll Canyon Road. Signs will be posted on the freeway in advance of the closure to alert drivers where to exit and re-enter the freeway. 

The Mira Mesa DAR along with the new Miramar College Transit Station, which is also under construction, will link to the I-15 Express Lanes via Hillery Drive.  This will be the fifth DAR constructed along the I-15 Corridor and will support future Rapid Transit service beginning in summer of 2014.  Construction of the DAR and transit station is scheduled to be complete next year.
