This page highlights some of the major construction projects happening in Carlsbad. It does not include projects from non-city utilities and private development. See the look ahead map.

Because construction work is very dynamic, schedules can change for a wide variety of reasons, such as weather, availability of supplies and other factors.  If we expect a project to have a significant impact, we typically notify those in the immediate vicinity 72 hours in advance.

For projects along major roadways, you can look for digital message boards for notices about upcoming work that could cause delays or detours. 

Although construction can cause temporary inconveniences, the good news is that we’re maintaining and improving our infrastructure year-round, and by keeping things up to date, we save money in the long run by avoiding emergency repairs. Regular maintenance also helps ensure you don’t experience a last-minute water shut off or road closure.

    Project background

    The City of Carlsbad is working on making streets inviting for everyone, whether walking, biking or driving. Tyler Street, in the city’s historic Village and Barrio community, is one of the locations where the city is planning improvements to accommodate all forms of travel and increase connectivity.

    The city is studying three options for Tyler Street. 

    Option 1 – Shared space 

    • Add decorative paving to create a “shared space” for two-way traffic for cars and bikes
    • Remove curbs and add decorative paving or colored concrete for pedestrians on both sides
    • Maintain parallel parking on the east side 

    Option 2 – One way, north

    • Reduce vehicle traffic to one-way northbound 
    • Add bike lanes in each direction
    • Maintain parallel parking on the east side 
    • Add continuous sidewalk on the east side 

    Option 3 – Parking on west side

    • Maintain two-way traffic where bikes and cars share the same lane
    • Add sidewalks on both sides of the street
    • Move parallel parking from the east side to the west side of Tyler Street

    Community feedback will be used to help refine the options. After incorporating additional input, eventually, one option will be selected to move forward to final design.
