A full rail closure begins at midnight Saturday for ongoing stabilization work along the passenger and freight rail line between Oceanside and San Diego.
The closure continues through 5 a.m. Monday, when all rail line services will resume.
It will affect operations on the San Diego segment of the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) coastal rail corridor, including the North County Transit District, Amtrak and the freight carrier BNSF.
Nearby residents may notice worksite lights and hear loud equipment noise, including from large drills.
Increased traffic is expected between the North Torrey Pines State Beach parking lot, Camino Del Mar and Coast Boulevard just north of 15th Street as construction workers access the bluffs.
Pedestrian trails along the bluffs adjacent to the North Torrey Pines Road and Carmel Valley Road intersection and at the ends of 11th and 12th streets will be temporarily closed throughout the weekend.
During the closure, SANDAG construction crews will work along the Del Mar bluffs and continue construction on the Batiquitos Lagoon Double-Track project.
Stabilization efforts in Del Mar will occur continuously as crews install steel beams and reinforce existing piles on the bluffs. Crews working on the double-track project will continue construction on the temporary platform parallel to the existing rail bridge.
