Project Description/Location:

The Miramar Street and Athena Circle Improvements project will begin construction in early January 2018, with an expected completion of November 2018. The project will create a vehicular connection between Miramar Street and Athena Circle and provide an internal vehicular campus route between the Mesa Housing neighborhood and the Science Research Park on the East Campus. The project scope includes the widening of the Miramar Street from Regents Road intersection to the Nuevo West Housing project. Utility infrastructure improvements will be made to support existing and future housing development at Mesa Housing, including water, sewer, reclaimed water, storm drain, gas, electrical and telecommunications.
