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.

    Seeking artists for new public art in the Barrio

    Post Date:04/26/2024 12:24 PM

    The City of Carlsbad is seeking an artist or artist team to develop a site-integrated work of art that will be placed in the center of a new traffic circle located in the Barrio, the city’s first residential neighborhood, dating back to the early 1900s.

    The city has already begun the community engagement process for the new public art, and prepared a summary report that includes some of the common themes heard so far. This input is reflected in the call for artists qualifications as the public art should reflect the Barrio’s neighborhood identity and cultural and historic heritage. The community will continue to be engaged during the development of the new artwork.

    Se buscan artistas para crear nuevo arte público en el Barrio

    La ciudad de Carlsbad está buscando un artista o un equipo de artistas para crear una obra de arte que se instalará en el centro de una nueva rotonda ubicada en el Barrio, el primer barrio residencial de la ciudad, que data de principios del siglo XX.

    La ciudad ya comenzó la conversación con la comunidad sobre el proceso de creación de la obra de arte pública, y preparó un reporte que incluye algunos de los temas frecuentemente mencionados hasta ahora. Estas ideas y temas están incluidos en la convocatoria para calificaciones de artistas ya que la nueva obra de arte necesita reflejar la identidad e importancia histórica y cultural del Barrio. La comunidad continuará siendo consultada durante el proceso de creación de la nueva obra de arte.

    En breve
