Commuters in San Marcos are set to face significant disruptions as roadworks commence along Las Posas Road at Palm Road. The City of San Marcos has announced scheduled multi-lane closures on the southbound carriageway, which began yesterday to facilitate the construction of sewer improvements tied to the new Cielo housing development project. Motorists should expect the closures to continue Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the possibility of further delays due to weather or unforeseen conditions, according to the City of San Marcos.
The construction work is critical to upgrade the infrastructure surrounding the Cielo project. While the effort will inevitably cause inconvenience, it is deemed necessary for the long-term benefits of enhanced facilities. Despite the lane closures, traffic will be maintained in both directions, with occasional night closures and detours set to spring up when least expected. Those traveling through the area should seek alternative routes to bypass the anticipated backups.
Affected residents and commuters looking for more information or to express concerns can contact the San Marcos Engineering Inspection Division directly at (760) 744-1050, extension 3208. Additionally, Rob DiPaolo of Meritage Homes is the contact person for reporting any onsite emergencies and can be reached at (562) 440-4105. Updates on the traffic situation and work progress can be monitored through the City of San Marcos website.
