Traffic in parts of Mission Valley is expected to be affected this weekend as a stretch of Friars Road is being closed as part of an ongoing project.
Caltrans officials are warning the public that both directions of Friars Road, between Ulric Street and Frazee Road, will be shut down for 36 hours -- from Saturday, Oct. 19, at 5 p.m., to 5 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 21.
