EAST MARGINAL PROJECT UPDATE

From SDOT:

Last week, we started moving materials and equipment onto the project site to prepare for the start of major construction in the coming weeks. This week, we are starting early work at S Horton St that includes railroad track removal, locating utility lines, and starting storm drain work. To complete this work, S Horton St between E Marginal Way S and SR 99 is closed and a detour is in place. For more information about the project and what to expect during construction, please visit the East Marginal Way Corridor Improvement Project website.

That’s where you’ll find full details, including maps, of closures and detours.
