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.

    Temporary trail closure

    Post Date:05/15/2024 9:16 AM

    Starting Monday, May 20, sections of the Lake Loop Trail on the south side of Lake Calavera will be closed while crews perform trail maintenance work. Workers will smooth out and fill in deep grooves caused by erosion from winter storms. The trail is expected to fully reopen early this summer.

    Trail maintenance will occur in two phases, shown on the map below.

    • Phase 1: Starting next week, crews will improve the trail in the area shown in orange.
    • Phase 2: Workers will begin work on the blue section of the trail when the first phase is complete. This work is expected to start in June.
