The state transportation agency is encouraging motorists to avoid the area and use alternate routes unless necessary. All westbound SR-54 motorists will be detoured to the Reo Drive/Plaza Bonita Center Way off-ramp, continue on Plaza Bonita Center Way and turn left on Sweetwater Road to the following detours:
