CHP opens one lane on Wildcat Canyon Road; closure causes SR-67 traffic back-up

California Highway Patrol opened one lane on Wildcat Canyon Road around 7:40 a.m. Monday and estimates that both lanes will open around early Monday afternoon, according to CHP.

The closure was due to power poles that were knocked down, leaving live wires on the road, following an accident early Sunday morning at Wildcat Canyon and Willow Roads in Lakeside.

As a result of the closure, traffic on State Route 67 heading west out of Ramona, was backed-up Monday morning, said CHP.
