The holiday season is filled with cheer, special events, shopping and a number of active infrastructure projects in active construction. To help you navigate and find the best route, check out this map of City infrastructure projects and local private construction projects in downtown Santa Monica. With the increased traffic during the holiday season we always recommend biking, walking or taking public transportation to downtown instead of driving.
