The City will begin a new round of roadway improvements across various areas as part of its ongoing Pavement Management Program, with projects focusing primarily on major arterial corridors and high-traffic streets.

Upcoming lane work includes:

• 4/14/26:  College Blvd. – Southbound lane #2 from Olive Drive to Thunder Drive
• 4/21/26:  El Camino Real – Southbound lane #2 from Vista Oceana to Mesa Drive

Larger-scale pavement rehabilitation projects include improvements in many areas:

• Oceanside Boulevard / Mesa Drive
• Oceanside Boulevard / College Boulevard
• Mission Avenue at Mesa Drive
• Mission Avenue / Mission Gate
• Thunder Drive / Landes Park Area

Additional project areas are being finalized and will be announced soon.

Completed in the past month include:

• 3/17/26:  Vandergrift Blvd. – Northbound lane #1 from Castellano Way to Douglas Dr.
• 3/19/26:  College Blvd.– Southbound lane #1 from Olive Drive to Thunder Drive 
• 3/24/26:  Coast Highway – Southbound lane #1 from Morse Street to Kelly Street
• 4/7/26:  Douglas Drive – Southbound lanes #1 & #2 from El Camino Real to Mission Ave.

Coming improvements include a variety of pavement treatments designed to improve ride quality and extend the lifespan of city streets, including asphalt grind and overlay, slurry seal applications, and other preventative pavement maintenance.

Construction will occur in phases. Residents may experience temporary impacts such as lane closures or parking restrictions while crews work to improve our roads.

Maintaining streets is an ongoing effort and the Pavement Management Plan will continue to guide needed improvements. Measure X, the City’s ½ cent sales tax has helped fund over $34M in road repairs since 2019.
