41st Ave. ramp to southbound Highway 1 closed nights through Thursday

Starting tonight through Thursday, Caltrans will be replacing the joints on the bridge at Highway 1 and Bay in Capitola. From 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the southbound on-ramp to the highway from 41st Avenue will be closed. Instead, motorists can take 41st Avenue to Soquel Drive to Porter Street to the southbound Highway 1 on-ramp at Bay Avenue. Caltrans reminds motorists to move over and slow down when driving through highway work zones. It's the law.
