SUBJECT:    UPDATED SCHEDULE: CONSTRUCTION ALERT – I-5 Switch Station Preparation, Voigt Drive & Green House Lane

DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS THIS PAST WEEK, COMPLETION OF THE FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY WILL BE DELAYED TO TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11TH at 4:00pm.

Project Description/Location:

Future construction of the I-5 Switch Station, located at Parking Lot P510 in the Pepper Canyon neighborhood, is scheduled to begin Fall/Winter 2019 with anticipated completion by spring 2021. This upgrade will require the digging of holes in the pavement to confirm the location of underground utilities at various locations on Voigt Drive and Greenhouse Lane will begin Monday, December 3, 2018. Activity will be extended through Tuesday, December 11, 2018 at 4:00 PM due to inclement weather this past week.

The I-5 Switch Station project will provide critical electrical infrastructure to reliably service the existing and proposed electrical loads for the campus. The upgrade will require the installation of underground electrical conduits, manholes and medium voltage cables on Voigt Drive and Greenhouse Lane. The work along Voigt Drive will be from the West I-5 underground vault to the new switch station location (existing parking lot P510) and from the new switch station to the existing manholes located by Warren Field.

Immediate Street Traffic, Bike Lane, and Pedestrian impacts:

Traffic delays on Voigt Drive between Voigt Bridge and Canyon View Pool, and on Green House Lane by parking lot P510, will occur with intermittent closures to the east or west bound lanes. Flaggers will be present to divert traffic during any closures. Bicycle lanes and pedestrian sidewalks will also be impacted. Please follow signage and allow extra time while traveling on Voigt Drive.

Please see the attached map for the impacted areas.
