Caltrans Construction Alert: I-805 Governor Drive Auxiliary Lane and Bridge Improvement Project

Share

Motorists on both northbound and southbound I-805 between State Route 52 and Nobel Drive currently experience recurrent congestion and daily traffic delays during peak travel periods, due to merging and diverging lane movements.

The project will improve transportation operations in the area by adding one auxiliary lane in each direction on Interstate 805 at Governor Drive. Improvements also include the widening of the Governor Drive Bridge, on- and off-ramp modifications to improve safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists.

This Caltrans project is expected to reduce the delays and emissions by improving the flow of vehicles on I-805. These delays can be reduced by constructing auxiliary lanes, the reconstruction of the on- and off-ramps and the gore and merge areas and adjacent shoulders, as well as widening of the existing Governor Drive bridge.

The $42.9 million project is funded through the State Highway Fund, with $700,000 from SANDAG TransNet funding. Construction began in February 2024 and has an estimated completion in the summer of 2025.
