SLO in Motion Update: February 28, 2026

Night paving work starting soon on Tank Farm Road.

Check out what we have going on in the upcoming weeks as we continue to make progress on our ongoing neighborhood enhancement projects aimed at making our city safer, more accessible, and better connected. 

Work to upgrade and add more safety improvements to key streets and intersections is still underway. 

• Tank Farm Road: We expect to continue paving work from Wavertree Street to Poinsettia Street as we make our way towards Broad Street. To minimize traffic during the day we anticipate starting night paving work from Broad Street to Poinsettia Street as early as this weekend from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. We’ll be working on one side of the road at a time and will maintain traffic flowing in two directions. Commuters can expect traffic delays due to flagging, lane closures and shifting. Please drive carefully through the work zone, plan for extra travel time, take alternative routes, and share this information with your neighbors. 
• Broad Street: We expect to begin backfilling and pothole paving work on Broad Street and Fiero Place for about a week. Commuters can expect traffic delays due to lane shifting and closures as well as a bike lane closure

Work will be continuing on-site for the Mission Plaza Enhancement Project. Commuters can expect traffic delays due to a road closure with detours, flagging, and construction trucks entering and leaving the area. Pedestrians can now access the sidewalk near the construction but can expect intermittent detours.  

For more information about the Plaza Project, please visit www.slocity.org/missionplaza. 

We are continuing sidewalk and landscaping work as part of the Cultural Arts District Parking Garage.  We’re continuing utility and signage work on Palm, Nipomo, and Monterey Streets. During work Palm, Nipomo, and Monterey Streets are expected to be open, and commuters can still expect minor traffic delays due to intermittent flagging and lane shifting. 

• Striping renewal of San Luis Drive, Foothill Boulevard, and Marsh Street 
• Night work on Tank Farm Road from Broad Street to Poinsettia Street 
• Street and sidewalk repairs throughout the City where recent utility work was completed 
• Electrical work at the intersection of South & King Streets

Please keep an eye out for orange cones and active construction sites and remember to:  

Allow Extra Travel Time: Due to ongoing construction, it’s a good idea to allow for extra travel time when navigating these areas. 

Slow Down for Construction Crews: Remember to reduce your speed and exercise caution when driving through construction zones. Our dedicated crews are working diligently to make San Luis Obispo safer for everyone. 

While exact schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unplanned conditions, the City of San Luis Obispo is committed to keeping the community informed as construction progresses. Your support and patience have been invaluable as we work to enhance the transportation options in San Luis Obispo. Thank you!
