Caltrans officials announced Sunday that the construction of four remaining new miles of carpool lanes on Interstate 5 in North County will be completed Monday.
The new northbound lanes, between Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad and State Route 78 in Oceanside, will connect to the existing nine miles of HOV lanes on I-5 from Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach to Palomar Airport Road, the agency said.
The new southbound HOV lanes have been open since June 14.
Other ongoing projects in Carlsbad include a new sound wall near Tamarack Avenue and pedestrian improvements at the I-5 intersections near Chestnut Avenue and Palomar Airport Road.
Construction on those projects is expected to be completed in late 2024 or early 2025, according to officials.
