Lancaster, CA. February 7, 2025 – The City of Lancaster, in coordination with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), is sharing an extension of select ramp closures as part of the ongoing Avenue J Interchange Improvements project. Due to delays in material delivery and the impact of cold weather and rain events, Caltrans has approved extended closure dates for the following ramps:

• Southbound Avenue J Off-Ramp Closure: Extended from January 31 to February 21, 2025
• Northbound 20th Street West Off-Ramp Closure: Extended from January 24 to February 11, 2025

The Avenue J Interchange Improvements project is a vital infrastructure enhancement effort aimed at improving traffic circulation and mobility in the area. This phase of construction focuses on ramp widening, pavement improvements, and traffic signal upgrades to facilitate better traffic flow around Avenue J and the developing Lancaster Health District.

Motorists are advised to anticipate delays and plan for alternate routes during this period. Real-time traffic updates can be found at Quick Map.

The City of Lancaster appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as we continue this critical infrastructure improvement. These upgrades will enhance safety, reduce congestion, and support long-term economic growth in the region.
