Olive Mill Roundabout

The majority of construction occurs between 7:00 am and 4:30 pm. 

• Crews will work on the northern corners of the intersection on drainage, electrical, and roadway improvements. Please remember there is a pedestrian detour in place during the work in this area and expect temporary stop signs for each leg of the roundabout as construction continues.

• Please note that the northbound off-ramp at Olive Mill Rd will reopen before the closure of the northbound off-ramp at San Ysidro Rd.

• Please expect 5-10 minute delays throughout the construction area. 

San Ysidro Roundabout

Starting in mid-June, crews will shift to work on the roundabout, the northbound on- and off-ramps, and the bridge rails on the overcrossing.  

• Crews will continue work on the underground supports (piles) for a new retaining wall by the northbound on-ramp. 

• Utility companies will also continue work in the area and along N Jameson Ln. Please expect flaggers directing traffic as needed for the roundabout project and utility work. Please expect 5-10 minute delays.
