SOLANA BEACH — Three San Diego County projects — the San Elijo Lagoon rail project, Gilman Drive bridge structure and San Ysidro Land Port of Entry — won awards today at the 31st Annual Transportation Awards.

The awards were presented by the California Transportation Foundation.

The San Elijo Lagoon project was built in conjunction with North County Transit District, the San Diego Association of Governments, Caltrans District 11, HDR Engineering Inc. and Flatiron-Skanska-Stacy-Witbeck.

It was a rail improvement project and part of the North Coast Corridor Program, which also includes extending the carpool lanes on Interstate 5 from Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach to State Route 78 in Oceanside, new bike and pedestrian trails and the restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon.
