Leucadia Streetscape Segment C and NCH Drainage Project Update
The City of Encinitas continues making progress on the Leucadia Streetscape Segment C and North Coast Highway 101 Drainage Project.
So far, crews have installed:
- 3,700 linear feet of 60-inch storm drain pipe
- 108 linear feet of 66-inch pipe
- 430 linear feet of 36-inch pipe
- ten large cleanout boxes
Work is also moving forward on curbs, gutters, drainage inlets and the east halves of two new roundabouts. Additionally, the contractor has completed some trench restoration and paving of the eastern half of North Coast Highway 101 from Jupiter Street to Grandview Street that includes through the half roundabouts. After paving is completed and lane striping is placed on this portion, north bound traffic will be shifted over to the east side beginning at Jason Street to Grandview Street then transition back to the west side.
PROJECT UPDATE
- Current Work: Crews are continuing to work on the drainage infrastructure including the large storm drain (66-inch) placement along North Coast Highway 101 near La Costa Avenue. A portion of the east side of the roadway will be paved to allow for north bound traffic to move to the east side of the road from Jupiter Street to Grandview Street. The contractor will continue working on the smaller storm drains and drainage inlets, median curbs and will prepare to transition construction to the west side.
PROJECT DETIALS:
-
Current Work: Crews are continuing to excavate and install large storm drain pipes (60-inch and 66-inch) between Bishops Gate Road and La Costa Avenue. This work also includes cleanout boxes and pipe extensions. The work directly under La Costa Avenue has been completed using a boring method; work north of the intersection will connect the storm drain to existing City storm drains. Paving will occur on the east side with lane striping from Jupiter Street to Grandview Street.
-
Traffic Adjustments: In September, Northbound traffic, beginning at Jason Street, will shift to the west side of North Coast Highway 101 for a couple of weeks. Then shift to the east side at Jupiter Street up to Grandview Street. At Grandview, northbound traffic will return to the west side, with a lane shift back to the east side south of La Costa Avenue. Curbside parking on the west side will be temporarily restricted.
-
Work Planned: Pipe installation and related work, such as storm drain inlets and connector pipes, paving, median curbs, and roundabout construction will continue on the east side through Fall 2025. Crews will be working at multiple locations between Jupiter Street and La Costa Avenue. In October, crews will begin replacing the existing water main on the west side of North Coast Highway 101.
TRAFFIC CONTROL MEASURES
To ensure the safety of the community and construction crews, traffic control measures will be in place throughout construction, including:
- Cones, delineators, and signs
- Lane shifts and closures
- Flaggers directing traffic
- Concrete barriers
SAFETY REMINDER
During the construction period, please expect intermittent lane shifts and closures, large construction equipment in the work zone, and temporary noise. We urge all drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians, to follow marked signage and proceed with extra caution to ensure the safety of everyone, including cyclists and pedestrians. For compliance with construction regulations and for safety reasons, only construction personnel are allowed within the construction zone.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to improve our infrastructure.
