Exciting Upgrades Coming to Chula Vista Marina Park Parking Lot

Get ready for some positive changes at Chula Vista Marina! The Port of San Diego is about to revamp the parking lot on July 22, with the project expected to wrap up by October 17, 2024. This renovation will enhance the parking area while ensuring minimal disruption to visitors.

If you have been to the Chula Vista Marina, you know this area needs some TLC. The parking lot is filled with potholes and cracks and is in bad shape overall. The Port of San Diego has been hosting more & more Chula Vista events down here, and the parking lot has shown its age.

What to Expect During Construction at the Chula Vista Marina

Here is what we can expect during the construction. This will be a three-month project, so be ready for traffic control if you plan on heading down.

• The Park and Boat Launch: Both will remain open throughout the construction so you can still visit during the project.
• Traffic Impact: A section of Marina Way will be affected, but no detours will be required. Traffic control measures will be in place to guide you.
• Parking: While parking will be limited, an adjacent dirt lot will be available for use.

Phased Construction Schedule

The project will unfold in several stages:

• Phase 1: Late July to mid-August will cover work in front of the boat launch
• Phase 2: Mid-August to early September will be the section closest to the park
• Phase 3: Early September to mid-September will be the lot on the upper south side of the parking lot
• Phase 4: Mid-September to early October will be the lower parking lot on the south side of the bayfront

Please note that the schedule might change based on construction conditions. There will also be work on Marina Way leading up to the park.

I know many car clubs often gather here during the weekend, so they might want to find a new location while the project is ongoing.

Chula Vista Marina Project Details

This upgrade is part of the Port’s annual Major Maintenance Program. In April, the Board of Port Commissioners awarded Griffith Company a $1.45 million contract for the work.
