Project Purpose:
As part of a central utilities plant expansion, a new chiller plant is being constructed to provide additional efficient, water-based cooling capacity throughout the campus. The chiller plant is powered by carbon-free electric power and will include two chillers, two cooling towers, associated pumps, piping and all required electrical distribution systems.
Asphalt repair on Gilman Drive is necessary after drilling for a storm drain line. The work includes excavation, shoring, backfilling and asphalt patching on Gilman Drive.
Location and Duration:
The work will start on the southbound lane of Gilman Drive, by the on ramp to La Jolla Village Drive on Monday, December 12, 2022 and continue through Friday, December 16, 2022 with work hours from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Immediate Impacts:
During this work, the bike lane and sidewalk on the West side of Gilman Drive will be closed. All vehicular lanes will remain opened. Please follow signage and allow extra time while traveling on Gilman Drive. Access to South Parking Structure and the pedestrian path on the East side of Gilman Drive will be maintained. Please reduce speeds and allow extra space when traveling adjacent to construction activity.
