CONSTRUCTION ALERT – Voigt Drive Improvements and Campus Point Drive Realignment Project Phase 1- Evening Closures November 20 and 21, 2019

Project Location/Description:

Initial construction for the Voigt Drive Improvements and Campus Point
Drive Realignment Project begins in mid-November, with evening closures
November 20 and 21, 2019. Activities will include extending the current
fenced construction staging areas, the demolition of existing parking
lots, sidewalks, vegetation, and underground utilities. The
reconfiguration of existing vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle routes will
ensure the safety of all travelers for the 8-month duration of Phase 1,
as well as future phases of the project through its full completion in
the fall of 2021.

Immediate Parking Lot, Street Traffic, and Pedestrian Impacts:

Voigt Drive, between Campus Point Drive and the Voigt Bridge will be
closed November 20 and 21 between 9:00pm and 5:00am. Vehicles, bicycles,
and pedestrians will be detoured around the construction area using
Campus Point Drive, Medical Center Drive, the new Gilman Bridge, and
Gilman Drive. The Scripps Hospital and parking lot P701 will remain
accessible at all times during construction hours. Emergency vehicles
will have full access along Voigt Drive during construction hours.
Flaggers will be present at both entrances of the construction area to
help manage the emergency vehicle traffic and safely escort them through
the construction site.

In an effort to provide advanced notice to frequent travelers of the
area, large electrical messaging boards will be placed along Voigt Drive
one week in advance of the work, confirming the dates and times of the
closures. Evening work and construction sequencing will occur in an
effort to minimize confusion and alleviate traffic congestion during
peak travel times.
