The city of San Diego plans to resurface well-traveled segments of two Carmel Valley streets - Carmel Knolls Drive and Carmel Country Road - as part of a larger asphalt overlay group project. Construction is expected to begin in early spring and be completed by late summer.

Why it matters

The resurfacing project aims to improve the condition of these heavily used roads in the Carmel Valley neighborhood, enhancing safety and accessibility for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. It also includes upgrades to comply with federal and state accessibility regulations.

The details

The Carmel Knolls Drive segment will be resurfaced from Carmel Canyon Road to Aida Street, near Carmel Knolls Park. The Carmel Country Road portion will be smoothed out from Del Mar Heights to Townsgate Drive, along the frontage of the Carmel Country Plaza. New curb ramps will be installed at various intersections, and a cross gutter will be replaced at Carmel Canyon. The streets will remain open during construction, which is scheduled for weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
