Caltrans Work: Lugonia Closed, Judson to Dearborn, 8a to 4p Tuesday June 11

Motorists in Redlands heading to and from Mentone can expect daytime delays on East Lugonia Avenue, also known as SR 38, in both directions on Tuesday, a Caltrans spokeswoman said Friday June 7 in a phone interview.

The stretch of East Lugonia between Judson Street and Dearborn Street is scheduled to be closed in both directions from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 11 for maintenance work, Caltrans District 8 spokeswoman Michelle Profant said.

The "full mainline closure" on eastbound and westbound State Route 38 is required so workers can put a coating on the road's existing asphalt surface to improve water-sealing and preserve the current road surface, Profant said.

"It's not the same as a full re-surfacing," Profant said. "It's more like if you fill in holes on a wall before you paint it."
