Daily Dose: Mission Gorge Repaving and Costume Contest Winner

A smoother ride on a road that needed it, a cute little ladybug in red, the day's events and more.

Mission Gorge Repaving

Those who travel on Mission Gorge to get in and out of Santee will have noticed that the roadway on City of San Diego land is getting a new layer of asphalt. Minimal traffic delays are expected, and striping has yet to be done, so be extra careful.

The lane into Santee was paved first, and the lane out is being done next. It also appears that the initial three lanes on the road into town is being changed to two lanes for the entire stretch.
