Planned lane closure for SR 99
Through Friday, the No. 3 lane of southbound State Route 99, from Cleveland Avenue to Madera Ave/State Route 145, will be closed from 6 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. The closure, which began Tuesday, is needed as crews will be cleaning out pump houses on that stretch of highway. Some on and off-ramps could be closed for short periods of time. Closures may continue for longer periods of time, if necessary, due to delays caused by weather or uncontrollable events that may occur.
