Caltrans closing part of state Route 52 this weekend to ‘work on the dips'

Up until 2020, people driving state Route 52 between SR-163 and Interstate 805 had the unnerving sensation of riding a roller coaster.

That year, workers tried to flatten SR-52 with holes, and lots of them.

“Nearly 30 highway workers are working this area each night, most on foot, to drill more than 4,000 holes into the pavement, then filling the holes with a slurry mix to flatten the pavement,” Caltrans reported at the time.

Well, the work done then did not permanently address the issue, which is why this weekend, SR-52 from Interstate 805 to Convoy Street will be closed “to work on the dips,” in Caltrans parlance.

The closure kicks in at 9 p.m. Friday night and runs through 5 a.m. Monday.

How to get around it? See the map below:

Caltrans is also warning nearby businesses and residents that the work will be loud and will require bright lighting as well.

The presence of Heisman Trophy candidate Ashton Jeanty has been huge for the Broncos, who enter this Friday matchup with a 6-1 overall record and five straight wins since losing to current No. 1 Oregon (37-34) in Week 2. The most recent came with more effort on the road against UNLV (29-24), where Jeanty needed 33 carries to rush for 128 yards and the Broncos trailed early in the fourth quarter. Jeanty’s 18th rushing touchdown of the season proved to be the game-winner with 12:38 remaining.

Boise State enters Friday night against San Diego State as a 23.5-point favorite to hand the Aztecs their first loss in Mountain West Conference play. San Diego State had won back-to-back games over Hawaii (27-24) and Wyoming (27-24) in league play before falling at home to Washington State (29-26)last weekend.

Local schools passed on social and emotional development

Local schools passed on social and emotional development

Re “Schools need focus on emotional development” (Oct. 15): Yes, in our schools, social and emotional development is a critical curricular focus, meaning there is a daily and weekly use of content and processes based on what we know about such development. We know a lot and have for decades.

There have been such curricular emphases over the years, none of which took off. I refer to two examples right here in San Diego. One was “Communications to Make Friends” (Lynn Fox, Department of Special Education, SDSU) approximately five decades ago that never took off locally. The other was Human Development Program (Uvaldo Palomares, San Diego State University, and local psychologist Harold Bessel), also about five decades ago, that never took off.

In both cases the results were excellent. In both cases, the district let them die off. Standardized test scores were more important than social and emotional development. I doubt that has changed.
