Project-Wide On- and Off-Ramp Traffic Shifts

Summary

As part of the I-5 North County Enhancements Project, Metro's contractor, OHLA USA, will implement a series of traffic shifts at various on- and off-ramps along the I-5 corridor. Activities will include removal of existing striping, placement of new striping, and adjustments of concrete barriers.

Motorists should anticipate modified traffic patterns in both directions between Hasley Canyon Rd and Calgrove Bl through December 2026. These traffic shifts are designed to safely maintain traffic flow while construction progresses. 

What to Expect & Traffic Control

Prepare for a new lane reconfiguration at various southbound and northbound on- and off-ramps and nightly intermittent ramp closures, between 7pm and 6am, beginning August 2026 through December 2026.

• NB Hasley Canyon Rd Off-Ramp

• SB Hasley Canyon Rd Off-Ramp
