Work is expected to begin next month on the La Paz Road/I-5 Improvement Project, which is designed to improve traffic flow along La Paz Road and improve access on and off the I-5 freeway.
The City of Laguna Hills is the lead agency on the project that includes Caltrans and Mission Viejo as project partners.
The project, which is expected to be completed in April 2012, calls for widening La Paz Road at the I-5 from approximately Cabot Road to Muirlands Boulevard in the cities of Laguna Hills and Mission Viejo. The goal is to improve traffic along La Paz Road to the I-5. La Paz Road is a major roadway in Laguna Hills and Mission Viejo with high volumes of traffic most times of the day.
The project will be done in four stages to minimize traffic impacts on the area, and most construction will take place during off-peak hours at night. The interchange ramps will be closed on occasion to accommodate the work. In an effort to inform motorists, Mission Viejo Public Works staff is working with Laguna Hills to place changeable message boards at strategic locations to inform motorists of the closures.
