Award of Merit​

Cannon Road West

Cannon Road is a major arterial (8,750 linear feet) in Carlsbad connecting Interstate 5 to El Camino Real. O’Day Consultants provided construction design plans and specifications for a 102‑foot-wide roadway. The project included two bridges, the widening of a third bridge, the improvement of the Agua Hedionda channel, and the retrofit widening of El Camino Real, including box culvert extensions.

The scope of work included design preparation of plans for the roadway, raised median, grading, street lighting, flood control channel, storm drain, sewer, water and recycled water, in-house analysis of hydrology and storm drain hydraulics, earthwork, cost estimates, coordination and supervision of subconsultants for fluvial studies, geotechnical reports, structural design, dry utility design and coordination, landscape and irrigation, traffic signalization and right-of-way work. 

Project concerns and solutions provided:

  • Multiple owners with conflicting goals created a requirement for intense coordination between the owners and the City.​
  • Significant land ownership by San Diego Gas & Electric placed it in a position to dictate unusual conditions upon the plan and right-of-way design, such as locating its existing facilities well outside of the project boundaries, exhibits for easements, and detailed access plans.
  • Environmental constraints required mapping the Agua Hedionda channel, wetlands, and creating alternative alignments and protective buffers.
