2015 work on State Route 76 includes several milestones Joe Naiman Village News Correspondent The project to widen State Route 76 between South Mission Road and Interstate 15 is expected to be complete in 2017, but some notable milestones will occur during 2015. The improvements most visible to motorists will be the completion of a second eastbound lane between South Mission Road and Gird Road, allowing for traffic to use one lane in each direction on that part while work is being performed on the westbound lanes of that portion. Utility relocation and work on the park-and-ride will also be part of the expected 2015 progress. Construction on the widening began in November and is in the initial phases. “Mainly that involves moving dirt,” said California Department of Transportation project manager Karen Jewel. Contractors and subcontractors ha ve als o b eg un remov ing vegetation where the new road will eventually be constructed. “They’re doing some clearing for right-of-way,” Jewel said. Some of the fill which will be used for the new road, including embankments, is currently on the Vessels property south of the San Luis Rey River. A temporary haul bridge across the river is in the process of being constructed and is expected to be complete during early January.
