Is there still construction on I-5 ?

They are still closed, as is the one on the Grapevine.. Our news last night said that traffic on I 5 is one lane each direction and was advising people to use HWY 99 instead. Once you hit Panama Lane south bound on 99 the speed limit is 70 mph so that helps a little.. Also.. if you are in Bakersfield and needd gasoline DO NOT get it on the east side of Panama Lane... there is an AM/PM on the westside that is pretty reasonable but the stations on the east side are about 40 cents a gallon more.. Hope you have a safe trip!

Looks like a new game plan, I do not like to cross to 99, but will have to see. Thanks again,

If you post a day or so before you go to remind me, I will watch the news here and see what the latest is for you.. just remember the news is not always right but at least it will give you some kind of idea...

We drove down the first of July and took 99 all the way down until you have no choice but to merge onto 5 and had no trouble at all. My sister, however, took 5 all the way and got stuck near Bakersfield forever. When I left Anaheim for San Miguel on the 6th I got stuck on 5 near Bakersfield for about an hour where it narrowed to 1 lane. It was not fun.

But I have determined that there will never be a time when I5 isn't under construction, so I just try to make the best of it.
