CalTrans and SANDAG

Caltrans and SANDAG will break ground to extend the carpool lane on I-5 in each direction between Manchester Avenue in the City of Encinitas and Palomar Airport Road in the City of Carlsbad. The double tracking of the coastal rail line, bike/pedestrian path improvements, restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon, and replacement of the I-5 highway and rail bridges over the San Elijo Lagoon are already underway in the community of Cardiff-by-the-Sea. These improvements are known as Build NCC, the first phase of construction on the North Coast Corridor (NCC) Program in the cities of Solana Beach, Encinitas and Carlsbad.
