Road Construction & Improvement Projects

October 9-16, 2024 

In addition to the projects listed below that may impact your commute, you can find information on work being done to enhance our City on the Capital Improvement Projects Map and the Road Construction Map.

Trabuco Road Improvements

Work continues on Trabuco Road between Jeffrey Road and Sand Canyon Avenue to remove and replace asphalt pavement, curbs and gutters, curb ramps, and sidewalk. In this final phase of the project, K-rail will be removed to complete final paving, striping, and utility and traffic signal adjustments. 

This phase of the project began Monday, September 30, and will be complete Tuesday, November 5, weather permitting. Work will be done entirely behind lane closures between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Every effort will be made to keep traffic flowing; however, delays should be expected and motorists should consider using alternate routes.

Overnight Lane Closures on I-405 Freeway 

Overnight lane closures will continue on the I-405 Freeway between the I-5 Freeway and Bear Street Monday–Friday, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. through October.

This project will replace pavement slabs on the northbound and southbound I-405 Freeway. 

Please note there will be loud noise related to this construction. Please follow all posted signs and traffic instructions. The work is weather-dependent and subject to change. Additional information on the project can be found on the Caltrans website. 

Northbound State Route 55 MacArthur Boulevard Off-Ramp Closure

Concrete will be poured on the northbound State Route 55 (SR-55) MacArthur Boulevard off-ramp, which will close the off-ramp Friday, October 11, at 9 p.m. to Monday, October 21, at 5 a.m. 

When the off-ramp reopens, it will be temporarily restriped to include one left-turn and one right-turn lane at the MacArthur intersection. The single lane off-ramp for eastbound MacArthur will be permanently eliminated. In its final configuration, the off-ramp will include four lanes at the MacArthur intersection – two left-turn lanes and two right-turn lanes, as well as a new traffic signal. 

The work will be loud and is scheduled to change due to inclement weather. Please visit the Orange County Transportation Authority's website for more information.
