Current Phase Overview
The I-280 Interchange Modifications at Balboa Park Project is the next phase of work to improve circulation in the Balboa Park interchange and station area. This phase, led by the Transportation Authority, will include further project development work on two of the recommended elements from the BPCS: Element 1 (the northbound I-280 Geneva Avenue on-ramp closure) and Element 2 (the southbound I-280 Ocean Avenue off-ramp realignment). The purpose of this effort is to conduct the detailed analysis and documentation needed before implementation decisions can be made on either element.

Specifically, this phase includes (1) detailed traffic analysis for both proposed changes to the ramp configuration, (2) preparation of required Caltrans Project Study Report/Project Report (PSR/PR) and environmental clearance for Element 2, (3) preparation of required Federal Highway Administration Ramp Closure Analysis for Element 1, and (4) development of project funding and implementation strategy. The project team will conduct outreach to community groups and stakeholders to provide updates and gather input as the project proceeds and before any decisions are made to implement the proposed modifications. The Transportation Authority is also coordinating this project with other local projects in the surrounding Balboa Park Station area.
