Cabrillo Bridge to Close at Night This Week

The Cabrillo Bridge,also known as the Laurel Street Bridge, will close for several nights this week as part of an ongoing construction project.

The crossing on the west side of Balboa Park will be closed to vehicles Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m.

Caltrans said if a fourth night is needed to complete the work, it will be scheduled the following Monday, Nov. 3, during the same hours.

The Cabrillo Bridge acts as a gateway into Balboa Park from Mission Hills.

Its renovation project, which started last year, replaced deteriorating concrete and steel to make the 100-year-old bridge stronger in case of an earthquake. The city is set to finish work inside the structure in early 2015.

In June, the bridge reopened to traffic after a five-month closure.
