OCEANSIDE, Calif.— Due to safety concerns, a section of Interstate 5 will be closed today, Saturday, October 18, due to a White House-directed military event at Camp Pendleton involving live ammunition being discharged over the freeway.

For public safety, a section of Interstate 5 today from Harbor Drive to Basilone Road will be closed between approximately noon until the end of the event.

Because of the event and closure, drivers should expect delays on Interstate 5 and other state routes throughout Southern California before, during, and after the event.

Before traveling through the region, drivers are encouraged to visit http://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/ for real-time traffic information.

Passenger rail service on the adjacent rail line will also be disrupted for a time this afternoon. For more details on Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink service adjustments and latest information, visit pacificsurfliner.com/alerts or metrolinktrains.com.

In San Diego County, the detour to head north will begin at State Route 15 in southeast San Diego. Travelers west of SR-15 along the I-5 corridor in San Diego are advised to use SR-94, SR-52, SR-56, or SR-78 to I-15 north.

The Government has welcomed An Coimisiún Pleanála’s approval of the #MetroLink #Railway Order, a major milestone in delivering Ireland’s first metro. #Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien, along with senior officials from the NTA and TII, hailed the project as transformative for #Dublin and the wider country. MetroLink will connect Swords to the city centre via Dublin Airport and key transport hubs, offering high-capacity, fast, and frequent public transport. The 19km mostly underground line will serve 15 stations, enabling quicker commutes and supporting housing development. The Government plans to establish a statutory delivery body to oversee construction, backed by €2bn in funding from the Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund. With planning approved, the project now moves toward procurement and construction. MetroLink is seen as a crucial investment in Ireland’s future public transport #infrastructure and sustainable urban growth.
