TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONVERSION AT

AVENIDA DE LA CARLOTA

Crews will be installing a temporary three-way stop sign, replacing the existing traffic signal at the intersection of Avenida de la Carlota and Oakbrook Village. Relocation of the signal allows more room for crews to work on the retaining wall adjacent to the I-5 south. 


The traffic signal will be reinstalled once work is completed in early 2023. Please watch your speed in the construction area.  

PROJECT MILESTONE:

CROWN VALLEY PARKWAY OFF-RAMP

The newly widened off-ramp and auxiliary lane at southbound I-5 and Crown Valley Parkway has opened to motorists. This is a great milestone for the project to help alleviate congestion of traffic volume along this heavily traveled exit point. Take a drive and tell us what you think of the new ramp!
