San Diego — Caltrans crews will close the Camino De La Plaza “Last U.S. Exit” off-ramp at southbound Interstate 5 (I-5) in San Ysidro on Sunday, May 17, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. for grinding operations as part of infrastructure improvements.
Signs will be posted ahead of the closures to alert motorists. Those who do not wish to cross the San Ysidro Port of Entry into Mexico can access the following detour:
- Southbound I-5: exit at Via De San Ysidro Boulevard off-ramp, turn right onto Via De San Ysidro Boulevard, then left onto Calle Primera, then continue towards Camino De La Plaza via Willow Road.
**Important Reminder **
There is no exit once past Camino de la Plaza. Motorists who do not exit in time will be directed across the border into Mexico. Please plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and use alternate routes when possible.
Motorists are reminded to be Work Zone Alert if traveling in the area and to watch for highway workers and moving construction equipment.
The work schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions, traffic incidents, or other work-related reasons.
