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.

    Have your say: Safe routes to school

    Post Date:01/08/2024 12:48 PM

    Where can the City of Carlsbad make walking and biking to Jefferson Elementary and Sage Creek High schools easier? 

    The City of Carlsbad is asking the community to weigh in on areas around two schools, Jefferson Elementary School and Sage Creek High School, where enhancements could be made for walking and biking routes.

    These efforts are part of the city’s Safe Routes to School program, which is one of several ways the city is working with school communities to promote safe and convenient travel to and from campus. Safe routes to school is an approach that focuses on walking and biking improvements, while other programs focus on driving.

    Public input will be used to create a Safe Routes to School plan for Jefferson Elementary and Sage Creek High School, which includes short-and long-term infrastructure improvements around each school. The city anticipates expanding the program to other schools in Carlsbad in the coming years based on budget. 

    Input on areas specifically around the schools to support walking and biking enhancements can be made on this online mapping tool. Provide your feedback by Sunday, Jan. 21.

    Díganos su opinión: Rutas seguras a la escuela

    La ciudad de Carlsbad está buscando opiniones del público sobre áreas alrededor de dos escuelas, la escuela primaria Jefferson y la escuela preparatoria Sage Creek, donde se podrían realizar mejoras en las rutas para caminar y andar en bicicleta.

    Estos esfuerzos son parte del programa Rutas Seguras a la Escuela de la ciudad, que es una de varias formas en que la ciudad está trabajando con las comunidades escolares para promover viajes seguros y convenientes hacia y desde la escuela. Rutas Seguras a la Escuela es un enfoque que se centra en mejoras para caminar y andar en bicicleta, mientras que otros programas se centran en los automovilistas.

    Se utilizarán las opiniones del público para crear un plan de Rutas Seguras a la Escuela para la escuela primaria Jefferson y la escuela preparatoria Sage Creek, que incluye mejoras de infraestructura a corto y largo plazo alrededor de cada escuela. La ciudad prevé ampliar el programa a otras escuelas de Carlsbad en los próximos años dependiendo del presupuesto.
