BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — The Thomas Roads Improvement Program is continuing to work on the roads and highways in, around, and through the City of Bakersfield.

  • Overnight closures are scheduled for all lanes of southbound Highway 99 between Ming Avenue and Highway 58 from Sunday, June 18 through Thursday, June 22 between the hours of 11:00 pm and 5:00 am. These closures are for the release and removal of falsework.

    During the closures, northbound traffic will be directed to exit the highway at Ming, head west to Wible Road, take Wible west to California Avenue, and turn right on California to re-enter the 99 northbound.
