The city of San Diego announced that it will be closing all northbound lanes of Texas Street from 8 p.m. Friday to 10 a.m. Saturday to repair a stormwater channel and stabilize the embankment. The closure comes ahead of expected wet weather in the forecast for next week.

Why it matters

With recent stormy weather causing erosion, the city is prioritizing this project to prevent further damage and impacts to the roadway before additional rain arrives. Texas Street is a major thoroughfare in San Diego, so the closure will likely cause traffic disruptions in the area.

The details

Crews will work to shore up the embankment and prevent any further impacts during the closure. Northbound traffic will be detoured to the Interstate 805 northbound on-ramp using side streets, and drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and avoid the area if possible.

  • The closure will begin at 8 p.m. on Friday, February 13, 2026 and continue until 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 14, 2026.
