But around 3:30 p.m. Monday, Caltrans told NBC 7 that the SR-15 will remain open while ramp closures from Interstate 8 to Interstate 805 will be in place from 8 p.m. Monday until 12 a.m. Tuesday.

An hour later, Caltrans said it would cancel the closures altogether for Monday.

But Friars Road near Oualcomm Stadium will still experience some disruptions due to "pavement rehabilitation", a spokesperson told NBC 7.

The $65 million SR-15 Mid-City Centerline Rapid Transit Stations Project will build San Diego’s first freeway-level transit stations along SR-15 at El Cajon Boulevard and University Avenue.

The project is expected to be completed in 2017.
