Freeway closures in North County tonight

47 closures on North County freeways are in place now or start in the next 24 hours (6 in place right now), from Caltrans' own lane-closure feed for I-5, I-15, SR-78, SR-56 and SR-76 north of Del Mar Heights. Most are overnight construction; times are Caltrans' plan and can shift.

Skip it: the Coaster runs the coast without the freeway.
