Construction crews began two weeks ago on a 2 1/2-year project to extend the car-pool lanes 11 miles from their end at Escondido Canyon Road to Pearblossom Highway. Granite Construction Co. was awarded the $25 million contract to build the lanes. The lanes are expected to be ready in January 2003. A project to add car-pool lanes between Pearblossom Highway and Avenue P-8 is in the design phase. That project is estimated to cost $30 million. Starting tonight, Caltrans will close one southbound lane to accommodate the car-pool lane work. One southbound lane will be closed between Pearblossom Highway and Escondido Canyon Road from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Mondays through Thursdays for three weeks. In a related matter, Caltrans officials said they expect to be ready Jan. 1 when a law authored by Assemblyman George Runner, R-Lancaster, goes into effect allowing mixed use of car-pool lanes on the freeway during nonrush-hour times. Caltrans staff said they will also look into a request by Runner to add more places along the car-pool lanes for cars to enter and exit. Runner had tried to put that provision in his mixed-use car-pool lane bill but dropped it after being told by Caltrans officials that it would cost $5 million.
