Thanks to a call tonight from David Ross, he has the scoop for us on the road work. I’ll reach out to the the Communication Officer in the morning about getting the signs corrected. All of us locals know where we are going but about 320 guests a day at the Palomar Christian Conference Center, all those campers staying at our three campgrounds, Observatory visitors and Vacation Rental folks from around the world would be driving around in circles…. it will all get fixed and work out, just fine.

County begins roadwork on S-6
The County Dept. of Public Works began roadwork on South Grade Road (S-6) on July 15 to install fencing to prevent rock falls from entering the road. This work could go on for most of the summer.
According to Donna Durckel, group communications officer of the Land Use & Environment Group, there has been some miscommunication about what this work entailed. Some members of the public thought that South Grade might be closed to traffic at some point, but that is not the case.
Durckel told The Roadrunner, “… Some of the confusion about signs … is likely because that day signs were temporarily staged at a different locations due to limited access.”
The Contractor is not planning any night work and no weekend work is scheduled. Delays on South Grade should not exceed 15 minutes, said Durckel.
