Project-Wide 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 and corridor sections along the I-5 freeway. Activities will include removal of existing striping, placement of new striping, coring and adjustments of concrete barriers.

Motorists should anticipate modified traffic patterns in both directions between Parker Rd and Calgrove Bl through February 2027. These traffic shifts are designed to safely maintain traffic flow while construction progresses.

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 February 2027.

Impacted ramps:

• NB Hasley Canyon Rd Off-Ramp

• NB SR-126/Newhall Ranch Rd On-and Off-Ramps
