Road repaving and restriping continues this week on major east-west roadways in Carlsbad, as part of our overall efforts to encourage safer use of our streets.
Here’s what to expect
Temporary lane closures, workers and detours along portions of Carlsbad Village Drive, Tamarack Avenue, Cannon Road and Poinsettia Lane.
Street parking along Tamarack Avenue is temporarily unavailable, Monday to Friday, Oct. 9 to 13.
Please leave early in anticipation of possible detours and give yourself plenty of time to get where you need to go.
Slow down in construction zones and watch for workers and roadway sign directions.
Exactly where and when?
Look for digital message boards and other signs indicating which portions of these streets are affected on which days.
The paving and striping process requires crews to return to each location multiple times.
We have planned this work to get it completed as quickly as possible and appreciate your patience.
Why this is important
This work is one of dozens of projects approved or expedited by the City Council during our traffic safety emergency.
Resurfacing takes care of cracks and potholes and lengthens its useful lifespan, saving money in the long run.
Restriping the roads will reduce speeding while giving more space to walkers and cyclists. Unsafe speed is the leading cause of severe and fatal collisions in Carlsbad.
