Drivers in Cardiff can expect periodic delays on San Elijo Avenue now through April, Build NCC announced on social media March 13.

The delays — occurring weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. — are the result of ongoing Coastal Rail Trail construction, part of a larger ongoing project involving rail and Interstate 5 upgrades and expansion as well as San Elijo Lagoon restoration.

Lane closures and other traffic-control flagging are likely throughout the month, according Build NCC, which is a collective of local and state agencies overseeing the projects.
