I-5 Central County Improvement Project OVERVIEW
The I-5 Central County Improvement Project will increase mobility on the I-5 freeway between the SR‑55 and SR-57 by adding a second carpool lane in each direction as well as make improvements on the southbound I-5 First Street on-ramp. The project is currently in the environmental stage. Three alternatives are currently under consideration to reduce congestion in the project area. OCTA is presenting these alternatives to the community to gain valuable feedback on the final configuration of the project. OCTA will host a public hearing in 2013 and will release the final environmental impact report after with a suggested alternative. HIGHLIGHTS / KEY ISSUES
