Construction Alert- Downtown Street Repaving

The city is resurfacing two major roadways in downtown Carlsbad as part of its regular program to extend the life of roadways, keep them smooth and improve safety. The work will cause some traffic delays on Carlsbad Boulevard north of Tamarack Avenue to the city limits in Oceanside, and on Carlsbad Village Drive between Interstate 5 and Carlsbad Boulevard. 

After Carlsbad Boulevard is resurfaced, work crews will turn their attention to Carlsbad Village Drive between Interstate 5 and the beach. Repaving that roadway is expected to begin on May 28 and will take place at night, between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Some residential streets also will be repaved. See a map of the affected streets. 

The Carlsbad Boulevard project also will include lowering the boulevard near the Carlsbad Army Navy Academy at Cypress Avenue to improve access and mobility for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists parking along the boulevard. After Carlsbad Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive are repaved, they will be restriped to make them more bicycle-friendly. The city will widen bicycle lanes on Carlsbad Boulevard, a popular coastal route, and add bicycle lanes to Carlsbad Village Drive for the very first time.
