March 5, 2014 weekends.
During the weekend of March 15 -16, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), TASI, and the U.S. Navy will advance necessary construction work at four sites along the coastal rail corridor in order to improve rider experience. The four sites are: the Santa Margarita River Bridge on Camp Pendleton, the Coast Blvd. crossing in Del Mar, the San Dieguito River Bridge, and between Sorrento Valley Rd. and Miramar Rd. The rail will re-open for regularly scheduled COASTER and all other rail service in time for the morning commute on Monday, March 17. For additional information, please visit GoNCTD.com.
