Construction for Storm Drains along North Coast Highway 101 from Jupiter Street to La Costa Avenue, with work along the Median.
We are excited to announce that the construction of the Leucadia 60-inch storm drain along North Coast Highway 101 is underway and is progressing in the area between Avocado Street and Moorgate Road. With the City Council approving additional funding this is possible and will help minimize flooding in the area. The work on this portion of the project is anticipated to continue through Fall 2025. Once the large storm drain is installed between Jupiter Street and La Costa Avenue, work on the collector, smaller storm drains, water line replacement, new curb gutter and sidewalks will begin construction. This is anticipated to begin Fall 2025 with completion Spring 2026.
PROJECT DETAILS
Current Work: Excavation and installation is occurring for the 60-inch storm drain pipe along the eastern side of North Coast Highway (NCH) 101 from La Costa Avenue to Avocado Street.
Traffic Adjustments: Northbound traffic at Avocado Street will be routed to the west side of NCH 101 for two-way traffic. The west side curb area will be painted red to preclude parking. The transition for the north bound traffic will occur at La Costa Avenue.
Future Work Planned: Once the 60-inch pipe installation between Avocado and La Costa Avenue are complete, the storm drain work will move between Avocado Street and Jupiter Street. Following the main storm drain pipe installations, additional work will include 18-inch, and 24-inch storm drain installations along NCH 101 from Jupiter to La Costa Avenue. The contractor may be active at various locations concurrently between Jupiter Street and La Costa Avenue.
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 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 along the east side of the roadway and within the median.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to improve our infrastructure.
