Motorists hoping to get to La Jolla from northbound Interstate 5 will have to take the looooooong way for an additional night, Caltrans officials said Monday.

The La Jolla Parkway exit maintenance work — which is subject to the weather (showers are possible Sunday and Monday; just sayin') and crashes — got started Sunday night, when the ramp was shut down from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Workers will be finishing up a new concrete barrier that is replacing the guardrail on approach to the bridge, as well as the installation of a "Smart Crash" cushion, restriping and removing temporary barriers that had been erected during construction.

The construction will be conducted during the same hours Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night, according to Caltrans.

Anybody who has to get to La Jolla is being urged to get off at La Jolla Village Drive instead, then turn left onto La Jolla Scenic Drive and right onto La Jolla Parkway.
