SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Motorists should be aware of a closure this weekend at the Camino De La Plaza off-ramp, also known as the “Last U.S. Exit,” in San Ysidro.
The off-ramp at southbound Interstate 5 will be blocked off for pipe installation on Sunday at 9 p.m. through Monday at 6 a.m., the California Department of Transportation said in a news release Thursday. There will be signs to alert motorists about the closure.
A detour for drivers on southbound I-5 is taking the exit at Via De San Ysidro Boulevard off-ramp, turning right onto Via De San Ysidro Boulevard, left onto Calle Primera and then continuing towards Camino De La Plaza via Willow Road.
Once motorists pass Camino de la Plaza, they will be directed across the border into Mexico.
Caltrans advises to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and use alternate routes when possible.
Nearby residents and businesses can expect increased traffic on the detour route, construction noise and lights during the construction work.
Weather, traffic incidents or other maintenance considerations may cause the maintenance work schedule to change.
