Highway Projects
As part of the I-5/I-805 Merge Widening Project, northbound bypass lanes leading directly to SR 56 opened for use this month. These lanes enable travelers to avoid merging onto I-5 northbound lanes before accessing SR 56. The scheduled completion for all I-5/I-805 widening is the end of 2007.
