The I-5 Central Corridor HOV Project construction activities are scheduled to continue this week on Main Street in the City of Santa Ana. Work includes, the installation of a signal pole on the northwest corner of N. Main Street and Edgewood Road starting on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 at 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Thursday, July 23, 2020.
The installation of the signal pole will require the following:
• Closure of the Southbound Main Street right-most curb lane from Walkie Way to just south of Edgewood Road.
• Expect some delay during these times.
OCTA and Caltrans’ construction team has been expediting this work while traffic demand has been relatively lower due to COVID-19. Should you have any questions or issues with the construction please call (800) 724-0353 or e-mail central5fwy@octa.net.
When fully completed, this project will add an additional carpool lane (for a total of two lanes) in each direction on I-5 between SR-55 and SR-57 to reduce traffic congestion, bottlenecks, encourage ride-sharing and improve traffic flow. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2021. To sign up for construction alerts or for more information, visit www.octa.net/i5Central.
Dates and times are subject to change if there is inclement weather or if there are unforeseen construction constraints.
