Construction of the Carlsbad Desalination Project remains ahead of schedule.


The construction at the intersection of Avenida Encinas and Cannon Road is scheduled to be complete in August. Eastbound and westbound traffic will be reduced to one lane on Faraday Avenue east of Veterans Park and maintained by a flagging operator between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Flagging operations will continue through the fall. Crews will begin digging a tunnel under the intersection of College Boulevard and Faraday Avenue starting from Rutherford Drive.


Last month, the construction crews finished tunneling under Faraday Avenue at Van Allen Way. Work is expected to conclude along Faraday Avenue between College and El Camino Real by November.


The remaining phases of construction in Carlsbad will be located along South Melrose Drive and will continue through August. During this time, traffic will be limited to two lanes in each direction.
