Work will take place Mondays through Fridays from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.; access to businesses, residences along Convoy Street will remain open
San Diego will begin resurfacing Convoy Street on Tuesday night, following a recently completed water and wastewater pipe replacement project. The work beginning Tuesday is the first of two phases that are set to be completed by spring 2024.
In the first phase, resurfacing along Convoy Street will start at the state Route 52 on-ramp and continue southbound to Dagget Street then switch over to the northbound lanes. The second phase will continue resurfacing along Convoy Street from Dagget Street to Kearny Mesa Road. “Residents and visitors have waited far too long for fixes to this major thoroughfare, which connects them to the restaurants and other small businesses in this growing cultural district,” Mayor Todd Gloria said. “This repaving project is part of my administration’s plan to address years long under investment in our infrastructure and to make certain every community has quality streets.”The asphalt overlay consists of installing a new 1- to 3-inch layer of asphalt on top of the existing street surface after it has been ground down or “milled.” The work will take place Mondays through Fridays from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Access to businesses and residences along Convoy Street will remain open during construction. “As chair of the Active Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the council member representing District 6, I am thrilled to see mobility investments and street improvements that will continue to transform the Convoy District into a vibrant, mix-used, culinary and cultural hub that celebrates San Diego’s AAPI community,” said Councilmember Kent Lee. Additionally, separated bike lanes will be installed on Convoy Street and the city is working on the placement and implementation of scooter and bike corrals along the corridor. Because the installation of separated bike lanes will place them next to the curb line, it is necessary to redistribute a limited number of parking spaces to surrounding cross streets, a city statement reads. The city has added additional parking spaces via angled parking conversions on cross streets including Dagget Street, Vickers Street and Opportunity Road as well as new angled parking spaces on Armour Street, Brinell Street and Pepsi Drive. Due to parking restraints in the area, city staff completed a study identifying parking solutions, including wayfinding signage, shared parking agreements with nearby businesses and privately operated shuttle services from nearby major employment centers during busy times.
