SR-192, San Ysidro Creek Bridge (PM 9.56)—January 16, 2018
Update by Caltrans
February 1, 2018
State Route 192 clean-up efforts continue following a major mudslide with plans to repair and rebuild the Montecito Creek, Romero Canyon Creek, Toro Canyon and Arroyo Parida Creek bridges, Caltrans officials have announced.
While the repopulation of Montecito evacuation zones continues, most sections of State Route 192 will be open to motorists but through traffic is advised to continue using US 101. State Route 192 is closed between Sycamore Canyon Road and Torito Road.
Bridges under long-term closures:
- Montecito Creek (Post Mile 8.12), Romero Creek (PM 10.92), Toro Canyon (PM 12.49) will be closed until further notice to through traffic, except for emergency and utility vehicles. The Arroyo Parida Creek Bridge (PM 15.50) will be closed by the end of this week due to mudslide damage. It was scheduled to be rebuilt before the mudslide and flooding last month.
- Each bridge will have barricades and locked gates with detours available via local roads.
- This traffic control will remain in effect until the bridges are reconstructed. The schedule is unknown as plans for permanent restoration are still ongoing.
Bridges open under one-way traffic control:
- San Ysidro Creek (PM 9.6) and Toro Creek (PM 12.14) bridges will be reduced to one lane and controlled by stop/yield signs. Temporary guardrail will be used to ensure a safe environment for motorists.
- This traffic control plan will remain in place until repairs are complete.
Caltrans reminds motorists to move over and slow down when driving through highway work zones.
