City of San Diego Begins Road Repair Projects in Skyline Hills, Paradise Hills, Otay Mesa, Encanto and Eastern San Diego

December 23, 2025

The San Diego Transportation Department is implementing a citywide slurry seal program to maintain and improve street conditions across multiple communities. This preventative maintenance approach applies a quarter-inch mixture of asphalt emulsion, sand, and rock to roads in good condition, extending their lifespan and avoiding more expensive repairs later. The city completed over 380 lane miles last fiscal year and has seven projects planned for the current fiscal year ending June 2026, with the first project already in progress through February.

Who is affected

Residents of several communities in the City of San Diego
The City of San Diego Transportation Department
Users of the roads being resurfaced (drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders)
Neighborhoods where the seven slurry seal projects are scheduled

What action is being taken

Construction on Slurry Seal Project 2621 is currently underway (weather permitting) and will continue through the month of February
Multiple slurry seal projects are happening across the City simultaneously
Slurry seal projects are being coupled with other upgrades to increase safety and mobility

Why it matters

Slurry seal is a cost-effective preventative maintenance approach that slows street deterioration by treating roads earlier in their lifecycle. By maintaining streets proactively, the city can avoid more expensive repairs such as asphalt overlay and reconstruction in the future. This program is vital to improving the overall condition of San Diego's road network while being more fiscally responsible with public funds.

What's next

Seven slurry seal projects are scheduled to be completed within the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2026
Construction on the first project (Slurry Seal Project 2621) will continue through the month of February
