Northbound I-5 Traffic Shift and Closures

Summary

As part of the I-5 North County Enhancements Project, Metro’s contractor OHLA USA, will maintain and modify freeway lane striping and k-rail (temporary concrete barriers) to support construction activity throughout the project corridor. Activities will include removal of existing striping, placement of new striping, and adjustments of concrete barriers.

At the completion of construction, improvements are expected to enhance traffic flow and safety, reduce congestion, and make commuting smoother.
