Vista Del Lago Road to Kern County Line
In observance of the Thanksgiving holiday, there will be no construction closures for this project from Wednesday, November 26, at 6 a.m. to Sunday, November 30, at 11:59 p.m.
Gorman — The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) plans to implement the closures listed below on November 24 and 25, 2014, as part of a pavement improvement project on the Golden State Freeway (I-5) between Vista Del Lago Road and the Kern County line. More information about the project is here.
TO AVOID DELAYS (especially if you will be traveling at night), check the Caltrans QuickMap before you leave to get real-time traffic information and see congestion hotspots. Take an alternate route if necessary. You can also call 5-1-1 for travel times and other helpful motorist information.
Closure information for this and other freeway projects is available on the Caltrans website.

About the Project
This project will replace slabs in both directions of I-5 between the Vista Del Lago Road overcrossing and the Kern County Line, a distance of 15.4 miles.
The two outside lanes and outside shoulder will be completely replaced, and damaged pavement slabs will be replaced in the inside lanes. Additionally, the project will update drainage features, upgrade the wooden guardrail posts to metal, add post mile signage, widen the inside shoulders, replace broken approach and departure slabs, and repave ramps.
This $100.1 million project, which will be completed in late 2014, will extend the life of the pavement, reduce maintenance costs and closures, and provide a smoother ride for motorists. The contractor is Griffith/Coffman Joint Venture of Brea, Calif.
Most of the construction will be completed at night to minimize inconvenience to motorists, though there will be some work during the day.
For the safety of the construction crew and motorists, please be attentive to closures, slow for the cone zone, and move over one lane where possible.
