The western part of State Route 56 will get 2 HOV lanes — expanding freeway from 4 lanes to 6 lanes — which will ease congestion from nearby employment centers
Caltrans and San Diego say they’ll break ground in April on widening the western portion of State Route 56 from four lanes to six lanes, alleviating traffic congestion near some of the region’s largest job centers.
“This area has grown tremendously in the past few years, and it definitely needs some help,” Councilmember Dr. Jennifer Campbell said last week. The widening will span from El Camino Real to just west of Carmel Valley Road at the Gonzales Creek bridge. “It’s important to see what the return on investment is when we’re spending millions of dollars,” said Corinna Contreras, a policy advocate for nonprofit Climate Action Campaign.
The county’s 2021 Regional Transportation Plan calls for the eventual widening of SR-56 to seven lanes, with two all-purpose lanes in each direction, one HOV lane in each direction and a managed lane that could shift direction.
