If you’re traveling from the hi-desert to Big Bear this week, expect delays on State Route 18.
Caltrans will be replacing culverts along the highway from Lucerne Valley to Big Bear Dam, and only one lane will be open to traffic in both directions, necessitating flagging and traffic control.
Construction begins today (April 29) and will be happening all week long form 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
