Sign work will prompt the closure of the connector from westbound SR-210 to northbound I-15 in Fontana.

The work will be done from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. tonight and Tuesday night.

Slab replacement work at the I-15/SR-60 interchange in Ontario will cause nighttime closures for part of next week.

Here's what we're looking at:

Closures

• The southbound I-15 connector to westbound SR-60
• Westbound SR-60 lanes 2, 3 and 4 between Milliken Avenue and Archibald Avenue
• Westbound SR-60 Milliken Avenue on-ramp, Haven Avenue on- and off-ramps, and Archibald Avenue off-ramp

Construction will take place from 9 p.m. Tuesday, November 1 to 4 a.m. Wednesday, November 2 and from 9 p.m. Wednesday, November 2 to 4 a.m. Thursday, November 3.

Delays are expected, so Caltrans is suggesting alternate routes if possible.

• Chino/Ontario: 9 p.m. to 4 a.m, April 18-22 and 25-29, SR-60 westbound between Haven Avenue and Central Avenue.

Caltrans today began an emergency paving project to repair pavement damaged during the recent storms.

The work will be done from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday on southbound lanes between Oak Hill Road and Cleghorn Road.

At least one lane will be open at all times, but Caltrans is warning to expect delays of up to four hours.

Once the southbound lanes are repaired (Caltrans is estimating a week or so), work will switch to the northbound side.

The entire project is expected to be complete January 28.

Update: Work on the northbound side will continue from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday (January 25) through Thursday (January 27), just south of the truck scales that are just south of SR138.

At least two lanes will be open at all time.

Caltrans is suggesting the following detour/non-detour: "LA County motorists going to the High Desert area or toward Barstow, Baker and Vegas may use I-5 north to SR-14 toward Palmdale, then take SR-138 east to SR-18 back to I-15. Inland Empire or Orange County motorists traveling I-15 northbound this week are advised to avoid travel during work hours."

The connector from northbound I-15 to eastbound I-10 in Ontario will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday (December 10) through 5 a.m. Monday (December 13).

The closure is due to concrete work.

Caltrans' suggested detour is to exit at Jurupa Street and head east to Etiwanda Avenue. Then head north on Etiwanda Avenue to I-10.
