Caltrans officials say last week's wildfires damaged about 100 miles of state roadway across the region and will cost an estimated $20 million to repair.
Pedro Orso-Delgado, director of the Caltrans headquarters in San Diego, said the last two stretches of major highway still closed or partially closed due to the disasters should be reopen by next week.
He said state Route 78, from Bandy Canyon Road in San Pasqual to Horizon View Drive near Ramona, will be open by early Nov. 8.
State Route 94, from Barrett Junction to state Route 188, will be fully open by Monday morning. Only vehicles traveling in convoys are now allowed on the road.
