San Diego International Airport to open new traffic route
The new three-lane roadway, located on North Harbor Drive just west of the intersection with West Laurel Street, provides a direct route to SAN's Terminals 1 and 2, the airport said in a news release Tuesday.
'We are thrilled to open this new entrance roadway to the airport,' said Kimberly Becker, CEO and President of San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. 'The on-airport roadway is a component of our new Terminal 1 redevelopment project, with the first phase opening this September. This is a significant milestone in our commitment to enhancing the passenger experience and making travel to SAN more efficient.'

Here are some tips from SAN on how to access the new on-airport roadway:
Vehicles on West Laurel Street headed toward the airport should bear to the right and will merge directly with the on-airport roadway.
Vehicles bearing right to access the on-airport roadway will no longer have the option to merge onto North Harbor Drive.
To access westbound North Harbor Drive, stay to the left on West Laurel Street and then turn right at the intersection with North Harbor Drive.
Westbound drivers on North Harbor Drive (coming from downtown) should be aware that the entrance comes up significantly earlier than the current airport entrance.
Directional signs to the new entrance will be placed along both North Harbor Drive and West Laurel Street.
The new roadway, which is expected to divert 45,000 vehicles per day from North Harbor Drive, is about one mile to Terminal 1 departure and arrival drop-off points and parking facilities from the entrance.
Those traveling westbound on North Harbor Drive who miss the new entrance can still access Terminal 1 via Harbor Island Drive and Terminal 2 via Spanish Landing.

Photos of San Diego coastline the morning after tsunami advisory
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A tsunami advisory was issued late Tuesday night for coastal San Diego County after a powerful magnitude 8.7 earthquake struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, triggering alerts across the Pacific. That advisory has since been lifted, though curiosity over potential impacts along the coastline were top of mind for many on Wednesday morning. The earliest potential tsunami waves for the region were expected to arrive around 1:15 a.m. Wednesday, according to officials with the National Weather Service. The National Tsunami Warning Center predicted modest wave heights: less than 1 foot for San Diego up to Oceanside — but strong currents, not flooding, was the main concern. NWS officials warned residents to stay away from beaches, docks, marinas, and harbors until the advisory was lifted. San Diego tsunami evacuation signs: Do you know what to do if one hits? Come daybreak on Wednesday, it appeared to be business as usual for San Diegans with live cameras along the coast capturing surfers, joggers, dog walkers and beachgoers carrying on as normal after the potential event. No widespread flooding or major damage occurred in the region. Here's a look at local beaches and ocean views the morning after the tsunami advisory, which kept coastal communities on high alert overnight: La Jolla Shores Del Mar Coronado Pacific Beach Mission Bay Shelter Island While San Diego has experienced detectable tsunami waves historically, none have caused major damage or flooding locally. Still, the possibility—especially from distant seismic events—makes awareness and preparedness essential. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
