I-5/Camino Capistrano Project

Construction is now underway to enhance traffic flow and improve the southbound ramp interchange on the San Diego Freeway (I-5) at Camino Capistrano in San Juan Capistrano. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration oversees the construction of the off-ramp widening and related improvements to address traffic backing up at the interchange on the freeway.

• Add a merging lane to the southbound off-ramp
• Add a second southbound left turn exit lane
• Provide a yield-controlled, right-turn only lane to the southbound on-ramp
• Add travel lanes to Camino Capistrano
• Add a sidewalk on Camino Capistrano
• Add a bike lane on a portion of Camino Capistrano
• Replace and extend a soundwall along the off-ramp merging lane.
