SANDAG schedules round the clock construction on bluffs this weekend

As part of its Del Mar Bluffs Stabilization 5 project, SANDAG has scheduled round-the-clock construction between Seagrove Park to south of 4^th Street from 12:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, through 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 14.

In hand-delivered and online notices, SANDAG warns that residents near the work areas could notice lighting and equipment noise throughout the weekend.

To stabilize Del Mar's fragile bluffs, the transportation planning agency is driving steel pilings at various locations along the railway between Seagrove Park and Carmel Valley Road. Construction and intermittent night work is scheduled to continue through mid-2027.

During the so-called "Absolute Work Window" this weekend, all train service will be suspended as crews drill and drive pilings between 9^th and 13^th streets, haul the spoils of drilled holes off of the bluff and transport loads of concrete to the work area to set the steel piles. South of 4^th Street, crews will pour concrete to reinforce existing pilings.

Equipment and materials will enter and exit the railway at 8^th, 11^th and 12^th streets, Coast Boulevard and from the north parking lot at Torrey Pines State Beach. A portion of the loading zone at Powerhouse Park will be cordoned off for construction access and staging. In these areas, SANDAG has planned for temporary parking restrictions and traffic control.

Throughout the three-year project, SANDAG has scheduled several Absolute Work Windows to advance crucial tasks and shorten the overall construction timeline.
