Improvements begin on SR76 east of I-15

PALA — After more than 18 years, the first step has finally been taken toward widening and straightening a key 1.3-mile stretch of SR76 from Interstate 15 east toward Pala.

The initial development of Rosemary’s Mountain Quarry will be focused on providing construction materials needed for this initial segment of SR76.

On Monday, February 11, Granite Construction began constructing a chain link fence around the 38-acre quarry site in Northern San Diego County. Construction of the road section will begin in about three months and take up to one year to complete.

Granite Construction and the Pala Indian Tribe will fund this section of road at an estimated cost of more than $26 million, including design and mitigation.
