I-5
Widening (North County)
This project will add HOV lanes to the San Diego Freeway
(I-5) between Del Mar Heights Road and Vandergrift Blvd.
Four mixed-flow lanes will also be added to the freeway
between Del Mar Heights Road and Encinitas Blvd., and two
mixed-flow lanes will be added between Encinitas Blvd.
and Vandergrift Blvd. These lanes are being built to meet
future demands for freeway capacity in this corridor.
I-5/I-805
"Dual Freeway"
To eliminate crossing patterns for drivers going between
the 5/805 merge and the CA-56 freeway, a "dual
freeway" will be built. This involves adding lanes
between the merge and the 56 freeway that will be
separated from the lanes on the existing San Diego
freeway. The new, separated lanes will have direct
connections to the 56 freeway. Also, the existing San
Diego Freeway will be widened to improve traffic flow in
this bottleneck. Detailed
Construction Information
I-5/CA-78 Connector
Improvement
The existing north-east connector at the 5/78 interchange
has only one lane, and it is a bottleneck during peak
periods. Long backlogs of slow-moving cars form on the
northbound San Diego Freeway because of this bottleneck,
resulting in a dangerous situation. To improve safety
near the interchange, the connector road will be widened
to two lanes. An extra lane will also be added on the
eastbound 78 freeway between the connector road and the
Jefferson Road off-ramp, to make the transition smoother
for commuters.
I-15
Express Lanes Extension
I-15 HOV Lanes
I-15 Managed Lanes
The existing managed HOV lanes will be extended northward
from Ted Williams Parkway (near the CA-56 freeway) to the
CA-78 freeway in Escondido. There will be three lanes,
with a median barrier that can be adjusted to provide an
additional lane in the direction of peak flow.
CA-52 Freeway Extension
This project would complete the CA-52 freeway in Santee,
between the CA-125 and CA-67 freeways. When finished,
this freeway will reduce congestion on I-8 and local
surface streets by providing a parallel alternate to
those routes.
CA-56 Freeway
Two pieces of this freeway already exist, near the I-5
and I-15 freeways. This project will provide a new
freeway segment between Carmel Valley and Rancho
Pensaquitos, to complete the 56 freeway. The new freeway
will reduce traffic on the existing mountain roads, as
well as provide access to new housing developments.
CA-76 Realignment Study
Alternate routes are being studied for the realignment of
CA-76 (Mission Ave.) between Melrose Drive in Oceanside
and the community of Bonsall. When realigned, the road
will also be widened to four lanes, improving traffic
flow and safety.
Campo Road (CA-94) Safety
Improvements
Campo Road (CA-94), a surface highway, provides the only
link between San Diego and the Mexican city of Tecate. To
improve safety on this road, shoulders and a center turn
lane will be added in the vicinity of Rancho San Diego.
CA-94/CA-125
Interchange Improvements
Ultimate Project
Interim Project
This project will add connector lanes to the 94/125
interchange and widen the 125 freeway near the
interchange, to provide transition lanes for traffic. The
purpose of this project is to provide the needed
connections between the 94 freeway and the new 125
freeway. Interim ramps will be built before the permanent
ones.
CA-125 Freeway North
This project will complete the CA-125 freeway between I-8
and CA-52. The only unfinished segment is between Navajo
Road and Grossmont College Drive. This will complete the
"North Inner Loop" of San Diego's freeway
system, reducing traffic congestion on other parts of the
freeway system as well as local surface streets.
CA-125 Freeway Central
This segment of the CA-125 freeway is another significant
piece of San Diego's expanding freeway network. This part
of the freeway is between the CA-54 and CA-94 freeways.
When opened, it will provide a parallel alternate to I-5
and I-805, resulting in significant traffic congestion
relief on those routes.
CA-125 Freeway South
This part of the CA-125 freeway, between route 905 and
the CA-54 freeway, will be built as a tollway. This
project will provide direct north/south freeway access to
the Otay Mesa border crossing and reduce traffic
congestion on the I-5 and I-805 freeways.
CA-905 Freeway
To provide better access to the Otay Mesa border
crossing, the existing Otay Mesa Road will be
supplemented with a new six-lane freeway. This project is
currently in the environmental/engineering study phase.
