<i> From Times staff and wire service reports </i>

All northbound lanes of the San Diego Freeway between the Santa Ana and Corona del Mar freeways will be closed at 9 p.m. tonight for construction work, Caltrans officials said.

The closure is needed so crews can install so-called K-rails, the concrete barriers that separate traffic from construction work, officials said. The northbound lanes are scheduled to reopen at 5 a.m. Tuesday. The Santa Ana Freeway will remain open.

The closure on the San Diego Freeway is part of a widening project that includes installation of car-pool lanes. A five-mile segment of the northbound car-pool lane is already open from the Springdale Street bridge in Westminster to the San Gabriel River Freeway in Seal Beach. The entire project is scheduled for completion in July, 1990.
