Northbound I-5 Lanes In San Diego To Be Closed For Roadwork

SAN DIEGO, CA — All lanes on northbound Interstate 5 from Interstate 8 to Mission Bay Drive will be closed this weekend for roadwork and culvert replacement.

The closure will take place from 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday, according to Caltrans.

Drivers heading northbound on I-5 were advised to take alternate routes such as state Route 163, state Route 15 and Interstate 805 past I-8 to connect to I-5. Northbound I-5 motorists traveling past SR-163 were advised to take westbound or eastbound I-8.

The Moore Street on-ramp to northbound I-5 in Old Town will be closed to limit the amount of traffic detoured to I-8, according to Caltrans.

On-ramps at Camino Del Rio West in the Sport Arena area, including SeaWorld Drive-Tecolote Road and Clairemont Drive will also be closed, but the northbound I-5 on-ramp from Mission Bay Drive will remain open.

Portable changeable message signs will be placed along the routes advising of the closure and suggesting alternate routes.

Businesses near Damon Avenue should expect noise and lighting from construction during the closure.
