The last southbound Interstate 5 exit before the U.S.-Mexico border will be closed for three days for pipe installation work beginning next week.

The closure will take place from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Wednesday as part of infrastructure improvements at the Camino De La Plaza off-ramp in San Ysidro, according to Caltrans.

Drivers who want to avoid crossing into Mexico can detour by exiting at the Via De San Ysidro Boulevard off-ramp on southbound I-5, turning right onto Via De San Ysidro Boulevard, then left onto Calle Primera and continuing toward Camino De La Plaza through Willow Road.

Officials advised that those who do not exit in time will be directed across the border into Mexico, and that drivers should plan when using alternate routes.

Nearby residents can expect increased noise and traffic in the area, according to Caltrans officials.
