Traffic Advisory: Steer Clear of I‑5 / Genesee Avenue Interchange June 17-26

Courtesy of Keep San Diego Moving:

From June 17 – 26, motorists can expect traffic delays at the Interstate 5/Genesee Avenue interchange.

Crews will build new freeway on- and off-ramps and move traffic onto the newly constructed north side bridge. During this time, motorists can expect reduced lanes during the day and intermittent lane closures at night on Genesee Avenue between Science Center Drive and Scripps Hospital.

During the weekend of June 24 – 26, there also will be intermittent daytime and nighttime closures of the on- and off-ramps to I‑5. Once the traffic has been switched, crews will begin demolition of the old Genesee Avenue Bridge and construct the second half of the new structure.

Detours will be in place, but motorists and people on bikes are encouraged to avoid the area if possible during this work. Motorists are advised to use La Jolla Village Drive as an alternative route.

To view the schedule of the planned closures and associated detours, visit KeepSanDiegoMoving.com/Genesee. Access real-time traffic info through any of these resources: 511SD, Caltrans QuickMap, WAZE, Google Maps, or Shift San Diego.

Please note: construction schedules are subject to change as closures are weather permitting. We appreciate your patience as we work to improve the interchange.
