BAKERSFIELD, Calif.(KBAK/KBFX) — Multiple highway on-ramp closures on Highway 58 are scheduled for Thursday night as crews undertake significant construction work, announced the City of Bakersfield.
Starting at 10 p.m. on Oct. 23, 2025, eastbound Highway 58 at Highway 99 will be fully closed to allow crews to pour bridge deck concrete. Drivers will be detoured via southbound 99, exiting and turning east on White Lane, then using the northbound 99 on-ramp to rejoin eastbound 58. This closure will last until 6 a.m. Friday.
Additionally, the westbound 58 to northbound 99 connector ramp will close at 10 p.m. for pavement sawcutting. Detours will direct drivers to northbound Chester Avenue, westbound Brundage Lane, northbound Oak Street, and westbound California Avenue before accessing the northbound 99 on-ramp. This closure will end at 5 a.m. Friday.
A full nighttime closure is also planned for the Ming Avenue to northbound 99/westbound 58 on-ramp starting at 9 p.m. Crews will sawcut existing pavement, and drivers will be rerouted to northbound Wible Road and westbound California Avenue before entering the northbound 99 on-ramp.
