March 26, 2017: Highway 138 (East) Realignment Project is now under way. | |
For all who are familiar with Hwy 138 while
visitting Cajon Pass, are aware of the old two lane and curvy Highway 138
coming from exit # 131 (I-15) and going to Summit. Several years ago, Hwy
138 has been widened after the exit toward Summit for the first 1.9 mls. But
from that point up to Summit, it is a curvy up and down slow speed
(mountain) road. Three bridges and one undercrossing will be built. (Hog Ranch Creek Bridge, Vjner's Shack Creek Bridge, OHV Undercrossing, Double Drajn Cheek Bridge) |
