ROSECRANS AVENUE & BLOOMFIELD AVENUE BRIDGE PROJECT

The latest pile driving activity at Bloomfield Avenue was partially completed last week; this activity will resume in one to two weeks. The contractor anticipates pile driving activity will begin at the Rosecrans Avenue bridge in September. Please be advised this work may be loud and disruptive due to equipment noise, vibration and pounding relate to pile driving activity. 

CARMENITA ROAD INTERCHANGE PROJECT

Daytime pile driving activity is underway to construct the new northbound I-5 Carmenita Road off-ramp and the retaining walls at the new Excelsior / Carmenita intersection. This work will take place weekdays (Monday through Friday) between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. This activity will be ongoing at this location for approximately the next one to two weeks. Please be advised this work may be loud and disruptive due to equipment noise, vibration and pounding related to pile driving activity.  
 
The intersection of Excelsior Drive and Carmenita Road is closed temporarily, while the intersection is reconstructed to tie in with the new bridge. Also, the northbound I-5 Carmenita Road off-ramp has been temporarily reconfigured. Motorists that exit northbound I-5 at Carmenita will be directed to turn right on Excelsior Drive, left on Spring Avenue and left on Pumice Street to access Carmenita Road. Click the map below for more information regarding the new off-ramp configuration.

As a result of the traffic shift onto the new Carmenita bridge, the traffic pattern at the intersection of Firestone Boulevard and Carmenita Road has been temporarily detoured; motorists exiting southbound I-5 at Carmenita will only be permitted to continue straight on Firestone.

DISCLAIMER: Due to the dynamic nature of construction, please note that all dates and times are subject to change due to unforeseen operational factors or inclement weather.
