Staff Reports Rowland Heights – Three lanes of the 60 freeway will be closed on four weekends in July and August due to construction. Caltrans have recently issued a press release stating that the Pomona freeway (SR-60) will be closed periodically for pavement rehabilitation work between Fullerton Rd. and Nogales St. The “55 Hour Weekend Lane Closure” as Caltrans are calling it, states that on the weekends of July 12, July 26, August 9, and August 23, up to three lanes will be closed for maintenance. The roads will be under construction due to the heavy weight of cars and trucks over time, requiring a more than two feet deep replacement of pavement and concrete base. Caltrans say the new surface will provide a smooth, safer drive for motorists, reduce time required for maintenance and minimize the need for further lane closures. Work is expected to be complete in late 2014. During the following weekends, Caltrans will replace the No. 3 and No. 4 lanes of the westbound SR-60 freeway between the Fullerton Rd. and Nogales St. exits. These weekend closures include: From Fri., July 12 at 10 p.m. to Mon., July 15 at 5 a.m., three lanes of the westbound SR-60 will be closed; northbound SR-57 to westbound SR-60 connector will be closed; and the following on-ramps: Brea Canyon Rd., Fairway Dr., Nogales St., and Fullerton Rd. will also be closed. At midnight on Friday, only the car-pool lane will be open to all vehicles. Some lanes will reopen at 10 p.m. on Saturday and all lanes will reopen at 5 a.m. on Monday. From Fri., July 26 at 10 am to Mon., July 29 at 5 a.m., two lanes of the westbound SR-60 will be closed and the northbound SR-57 to westbound SR-60 connector road will be closed. The same on-ramps will be also closed: Brea Canyon Rd., Fairway Dr., Nogales St., and Fullerton Rd. From midnight on Friday until 5 a.m. on Saturday, all westbound lanes will be closed. Some lanes will reopen on Saturday, but all lanes will be closed again at midnight on Sunday until Monday at 5 a.m. During the following weekends, Caltrans will replace the No. 3 and No. 4 eastbound SR-60 lanes between the same two exits. These weekends include: From Fri., Aug. 9 at 10 p.m. to Mon., Aug. 12 at 5 a.m., three lanes of the eastbound 60 will be closed and the following on-ramps will be closed: Hacienda Blvd., Azusa Ave., Fullerton Rd., and south Nogales St. The following off-ramps will also be closed: Fullerton Rd. and Nogales St. From Fri., Aug. 23 at 10 p.m. to Mon., Aug. 26 at 5 a.m., the same on-ramps will be closed: Hacienda Boulevard, Azusa Ave., Fullerton Rd., and south Nogales St. and the same off-ramps will also be closed: Fullerton Rd. and Nogales St. However, the SR-57 and SR-60 connector will remain open.

If you know you will be traveling on the 60 freeway during the construction, Caltrans encourage you to bring water, snacks, medications, and entertainment for children because the delay is expected to be long.
