Information on SR52 bike access impacts due to widening project. Not sure
when the actual change to the bike access will take place, but it will be
sometime this year.

Please be advised:

Beginning in March, 2008, and continuing for about a year, construction on
a segment of SR-52 will begin.  (This segment of SR-52 is between Santo
Road in the Tierrasanta area to Mast Blvd. in the Santee area;  currently,
bikes are permitted to ride on the shoulders of this segment.)

There will be 4 stages of construction and bikes will have continued access
through this corridor during all 4 stages of construction.

Specifically, Stage 1A and 1B will add lanes on SR 52 between I-15 and
Santo Rd, where bikes will not be affected.

Stage 2 will add lanes in the median. Bikes will continue to be able to use
outside shoulders.

Stage 3A and 3 B will reconstruct the Santo Rd/ WB off ramp intersection,
and will include drainage work on the WB, outside shoulder. The EB outside
shoulder (the south shoulder) will be converted into a two way bikepath
during this stage.

Stage 4 will complete the construction of drainage facilities on the EB,
outside shoulder. By now, bikes will be using a two-way Class I Bike Path
on the WB outside shoulder, separated by K-rail.

There may be some minor impacts to bikes while K rails are installed, but
these impacts should be very minimal. We expect K-rails will be placed at
nights.
