All lanes of eastbound Interstate 8 will be closed at night for repair work until the end of January, transportation officials said.
The closure, which will effect a small stretch of freeway at Tavern Road, begins Tuesday and will be in effect from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., according to officials with the California Department of Transportation, or Caltrans.
Motorists will be detoured around the work at the Tavern Road off-ramp and then sent back to the freeway via the Tavern on-ramp.
Workers will be relocating dirt in the area to shore up a nearby slope and fixing up aging pavement, Caltrans officials said.
The maintenance schedule could change if weather, traffic incidents or other considerations demand it. Real-time traffic information can be found at quickmap.dot.ca.gov.
