Two lanes on westbound State Route 78 from College Boulevard to El Camino Real that were previously closed for emergency sinkhole repair have reopened as of April 5. 

Now, Caltrans closed all eastbound lanes to complete culvert repairs on that side. Motorists should expect the closure of eastbound lanes to last at least three weeks. Crews are working 24/7 to repair metal pipes and culverts that run underneath the highway.  MAP

The detour for the closure is as follows:

• Motorists will exit the eastbound SR-78 at El Camino Real and turn left.
• Then right at Vista Way and left on College Boulevard.
• From College/Plaza Drive, re-enter the eastbound SR-78.

The total cost of repairs is estimated to be $20 million, with funds for the repairs coming from the State Highway Operation and Protection Program.
