Final update Hwy 395 is now open at Hwy 58 at Kramer Junction.

KRAMER JUNCTION, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> Caltrans 8 in partnership with Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad, will be closing Highway 395 (US-395) at Kramer Junction for five days to allow BNSF workers to replace concrete panels, rails and re-ballast the tracks crossing Hwy 395 immediately north of the intersection of Hwy 58 (SR-58). The railroad work is a portion of the completion work for the Kramer Junction project which began in late 2017 to realign Old Hwy 58 to the new expressway east and west of “Four Corners” in San Bernardino County.
