Caltrans crews are working 24/7 to fix a failed culvert that lead to a sinkhole on SR-78 in Oceanside. Once the westbound lanes are fixed, work on the eastbound side of the highway will follow.
A failed 50-year-old culvert lead to a sinkhole that shut down the busy stretch of highway, Caltrans Maintenance Chief Shawn Rizzutto told NBC 7. As crews work to remedy the 48-inch pipe, Caltrans announced the closure will impact westbound lanes of SR-78 from College Boulevard to El Camino Real until Saturday.
On Thursday, SkyRanger 7 flew over North County, where a large section of the freeway is under repair. The agency said drivers impacted by the closure will be diverted to the College Boulevard/Vista Way off-ramp, then west on Vista Way to the westbound SR-78 El Camino Real on-ramp. Maintenance crews are working around the clock to expedite the repairs.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.
“So, this work would normally take 3 to 4 weeks to perform," Rizzutto said."We are going to do it in less than a week. We’re going to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week until we get it fully open.”
