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.

    Give input on Robertson Ranch Park

    Post Date:07/21/2023 3:00 PM

    The city is kicking off the planning process for Carlsbad’s next park. Known as Robertson Ranch Park, the park will be located on 11.2 acres near the corner of El Camino Real and Cannon Road.

    Here are three ways you can give input on what you’d like to see included in the park at this very early stage of planning:

    In-person workshop
    Tuesday, Aug. 8
    6 to 7:30 p.m.
    Join us at the future park site*
    Parking available at Fire Station 3 (3465 Trailblazer Way)

    *The park site is undeveloped. Please wear comfortable shoes for the workshop in the vacant lot.

    Virtual workshop
    Wednesday, Aug. 9
    6 to 7:30 p.m.
    Zoom
    Register online

    To request reasonable accommodations to participate in a workshop, please call 442-339-5352 (voice), 711 (free relay service for TTY users) at least 72 hours in advance to discuss accessibility needs.

    Online survey
    An online survey will be available soon for those who can’t make the workshops. Sign up for emails to be notified when the survey goes live.

    Background
    The park site is relatively flat, and some of the potential uses mentioned in the Robertson Ranch Master Plan include ball fields, a playground and picnic areas. However, the city will determine the actual uses of park with input gathered from the community.

    The park is included in the City Council’s 5-Year Strategic Plan, focused on maintaining Carlsbad’s excellent quality of life and unique community character.
