Title
Build the SR-56 Connectors
Description
Freeway traffic flow in San Diego County is plagued by a lack of east-west freeways. The congestion along major traffic arteries in San Diego is complicated by the fact that thousands of motorists must travel north and south to eventually arrive at their east-west destinations.
One potential solution to the lack of east-west connecting freeways lies in the completion of State Route 56 (SR-56), which will link businesses and residential communities on either side of the northern part of the City of San Diego. SR-56 currently is under construction and is expected to be completed by mid-2004.
A completed SR-56 project will help create a smooth transition between Interstate 15 (I-15) and Interstate 5 (I-5), relieving traffic congestion on both of these north-south freeways, the two major freeways that link Southern California to the Mexican border.
