Lane closures, traffic delays and detours on Carlton Hills Boulevard are expected for more than two months starting Monday the City of Santee said.
The closures are necessary for the installation of an SDG&E natural gas pipeline between Mission Gorge Road and Carlton Oaks Boulevard.
All driveways and streets with access to Carlton Hills Boulevard will remain open during the pipeline installation.
The project, which is actually in its second phase, is expected to finish in July.
The first part of the pipeline replacement was completed last year on Mission Gorge Road.
Work occurring north of the San Diego River bridge will take place between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Monday through Friday.
When the project moves south of the bridge, construction will take place Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from 9.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Friday.

Natural gas service will not be interrupted during the project.
SDG&E has advised residents that they may smell the odor of natural gas and hear a loud, steady noise when workers are releasing natural gas from the pipeline. Anyone with concerns about the gas odor can contact SDG&E at 1-800-611-7343.
