The eastbound I-8 connector ramp to southbound SR-163, which includes the eastbound Hotel Circle south on-ramp, along with the southbound SR-163 Sixth Avenue off-ramp, will close Friday at 9 p.m. to Saturday at 7 a.m., the state Department of Transportation announced.
Eastbound I-8 motorists will be detoured to the northbound SR-163 connector ramp to the Friars Road West off-ramp and turn right to the southbound SR-163 on-ramp.
Southbound SR-163/Sixth Avenue motorists should exit at the Washington Street East off-ramp to Fourth Avenue and turn right for Scripps Mercy Hospital or left for Hillcrest, a DOT spokesperson announced.
