HEADS UP: Caltrans Work to Close Lugonia, Judson to Dearborn, 8a to 4p Tuesday

Motorists in Redlands heading to and from Mentone can expect daytime delays on East Lugonia Avenue, also known as State Route 38, on Tuesday June 11, a Caltrans spokeswoman said in a phone interview.

The stretch of East Lugonia between Judson Street and Dearborn Street is scheduled to be closed in both directions from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday for maintenance work, Caltrans District 8 spokeswoman Michelle Profant said.

The "full mainline closure" on eastbound and westbound State Route 38 is required so workers can put a coating on the road's existing asphalt surface to improve water-sealing and preserve the current road surface, Profant said.

"It's not the same as a full re-surfacing," Profant said. "It's more like if you fill in holes on a wall before you paint it."
