CONSTRUCTION ALERT - La Jolla Utility Installation at Campus Point Drive

Project Description/Location

The La Jolla Campus Medical Center Switch Station project will continue construction on a utility trench on the west side of Campus Point Drive starting on January 28, 2013. The utility trench will cross the sidewalk and continue through the planter area and into Campus Point Drive. Work hours will be from 6:30 am to 3 pm. The work area will be trench plated at the end of the day and traffic control will remain in place overnight. Construction is expected to complete on February 22, 2013.

Immediate Street Impacts:

When entering the campus via Campus Point Drive, and approaching the Medical Center Drive intersection, a portion of the right-hand turn lane will be closed. A segment of the sidewalk will be closed to public traffic from January 28, 2013 through February 1, 2013 and pedestrians traveling to the Medical Center from parking lot P702 will need to utilize the alternate routes indicated via posted signage. We are recommending that UCSD staff park in the parking structure rather than utilizing lot P702 during this time frame. Campus Point Drive will have traffic control measures in place from January 28, 2013 through February 22, 2013.
