A full northbound closure on State Route 125 Toll Road is expected this weekend to allow crews to install new tolling equipment, the San Diego Association of Governments announced.
The closure will take place on northbound SR 125 from East H Street to SR 54 from July 29 at 8 p.m. through August 1 at 6 a.m. According to SANDAG, the installation of the new tolling equipment is a part of a broader effort to make upgrades along the SR 125 Toll Road and I-15 Express lanes.
During this time, the following closures will be in effect:
• Northbound SR 125 from East H Street to SR 54
• Northbound SR 125 connector to eastbound SR 54
• Northbound SR 125 connector to westbound SR 54
• SR 125 northbound on-ramps at East H Street and San Miguel Ranch Road
Detour signage will be in place to guide motorists around the closure via East H Street to I-805.
The new technology allows for newer transponder models to be read, including switchable FasTrak Flex and sticker-mounted transponders. The updates also improve toll transactions between transponders and roadway equipment and enables FasTrak equipment in the San Diego region to remain interoperable with partner tolling FasTrak agencies.
SANDAG said roadway enhancements include new automated payment machines for faster cash and card on-road transactions.
This weekend’s closure is one of several closures required throughout the project to safely install new equipment. The agency began upgrades to the SR 125 in late 2021, and installation of new roadway equipment on the I-15 Express Lanes was previously completed in 2021.
Upgrades to SR125 are anticipated to be completed by the end of 2022. To learn more, visit SANDAG.org/SR125.
