Pile driving activity has been completed on the Carmenita project. Over the next three weeks, there are currently no closures scheduled and work will be conducted during the daytime behind k-rail.
The week of Dec. 6 crews will perform paving work during nighttime shifts on Carmenita Place; the road will be closed nightly (9 p.m. to 5 a.m.), Sunday, Dec. 6 through Thursday, Dec. 10, as this work is completed.
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 Road will only be permitted to continue straight on Firestone.
