Chula Vista is primed for a nighttime makeover as construction crews prepare to close eastbound Telegraph Canyon Road. Starting this Wednesday at 9 p.m., drivers will have to navigate a series of detours until 5 a.m. Thursday. If you’ve ever wished to take a scenic detour, this could be your chance—though not everyone may appreciate the roadside views of construction equipment!
In addition to the road closure, both the northbound and southbound on and off-ramps at I-805 will also be affected, ensuring a fun-filled evening for anyone attempting to commute. Local residents can expect the delightful sounds of machinery working late into the night and flashing lights to keep things interesting in the neighborhood. All this is part of a $33 million project aimed at upgrading bridge safety and sounds walls along I-805, so let's hope the end result is worth the detours!
As the construction wraps up in late 2026, one has to wonder if the journey through traffic will become a bit smoother or if it will just lead to more detours in our future. For now, buckle up and prepare for this construction spectacle. Will you be taking the long way home?
