San Diego: I-8 Eastbound-to-Northbound SR-67 Connector Closes Overnight November 5

SAN DIEGO COUNTY — November 5, 2026. Caltrans District 11 has scheduled an overnight closure of the eastbound Interstate 8 connector to northbound State Route 67 for bridge work. The closure is planned from 10 p.m. Thursday, November 5, until 5 a.m. Friday, November 6, subject to change because of weather, traffic or other work.

Official detour

Caltrans advises drivers heading to northbound SR-67 to continue east on I-8, exit at Mollison Avenue, turn left and then use the westbound I-8 connector to reach northbound SR-67. This alternative may add travel time, particularly for overnight work trips and delivery vehicles. Follow temporary signs and instructions from roadway crews rather than relying solely on a saved navigation route.

Why Caltrans is closing the connector

The state transportation agency describes the operation as bridge work and reminds motorists to watch for equipment and workers. A scheduled closure is not a report of an emergency or structural failure. The distinction matters because readers may see dramatic traffic alerts without context.

Before you go

Verify the latest conditions through Caltrans QuickMap. Emergency access restrictions, additional local work, or an early reopening could alter the posted plan.
