The first phase of the “roundabout” to replace the Yale Boulevard and Camino de Salud intersection on the north campus is scheduled to end this week. Phase two of the Yale-Camino de Salud project is scheduled to start on Saturday, Nov. 10.
During this phase of the project, Camino de Salud will be closed west of the intersection and south of Tucker. Access to the “M” parking lot will be available on Camino de Salud south of Tucker and access to the Physical Plant and Office of Capital Projects buildings will be available on the AMAFCA Channel service road.
Traffic on Yale between Camino de Salud and Lomas Boulevard will be redirected around the construction area, through the Physics/ITS parking lot onto Camino de Salud, east of Yale, and back to Yale Boulevard north of the construction area. Yale will be open north to Tucker, where through traffic can access north campus and the “G” and “Q” parking lots.
By starting this phase on a Saturday, instead of Monday, Nov. 12, the contractor will be able to reconfigure the construction site with lighter traffic in the area. The detour road will be established when regular pedestrian and vehicular traffic return to campus that Monday.
Phase two is expected to last from Nov. 10 through mid-December. A map of the project is available at: Phase 2.
