I-5 North Coast Corridor HOV/Managed Lanes Project
The project proposes to add two managed lanes in each direction and potentially additional freeway and auxiliary lanes where needed. The managed lanes will be used by carpools, vanpools and transit riders at no cost and be available to single-occupant vehicles for a fee when there is sufficient capacity.
The 26-mile project will add highway lanes and operational improvements to provide mobility choices for motorists on I-5 in the northern San Diego region.
Purpose & need
Relieve traffic congestion, address future growth, improve average commute time, accommodate goods movement.
Objectives
- Reduce congestion: Sustain travel times in mixed-use lanes, add HOV/managed lanes, address peak periods
- Provide modal choices: Achieve more than 10% carpools, provide a facility compatible with future BRT
- Protect the environment: Improve ecosystem, no net loss of wetlands
- Enhance community: Improve connectivity, minimize project impacts
Funding
Through a combination of federal, state, and regional TransNet funding, a total of $50 million has been identified for the Environmental and Right of Way phases of the project.
