SANTA ANA : Temporary Ramps to Open at Grand Ave.
Some good news for residents and commuters in Santa Ana: Temporary ramps are scheduled to open today to allow motorists to exit and enter the southbound Santa Ana Freeway at Grand Avenue.
Access to busy Grand Avenue has been disrupted since the southbound off-ramp closed in December, Caltrans spokeswoman Maureena Duran-Rojas said. The ramp to get on the southbound Santa Ana Freeway from Grand Avenue closed in March, Duran-Rojas said.
The temporary ramps will remain open until construction of the permanent ramps is finished in late 1995, Duran-Rojas said. Both temporary ramps are scheduled to open this morning, but perhaps not in time for the morning rush hour, Duran-Rojas said.
The northbound on-ramp at Grand Avenue is now open only to drivers heading north on the street. The ramp to Grand Avenue from the northbound Santa Ana Freeway is still closed, though it may open this summer, according to Caltrans.
