Highway 99, 180 connector ramps to be closed

Ramps on highways 99 and 180 will be closed temporarily on Feb. 27 for landscape maintenance, the California Department of Transportation said.

The connector ramps from northbound Highway 99 to westbound and eastbound Highway 180 will be closed from 5 to 11 a.m.

Closures may continue for longer periods of time, to due weather or other events, Caltrans said. The department advises motorists to avoid the area and use alternate routes, if possible.
