A portion of College Avenue in the Navajo and College Area communities will be temporarily closed starting at 10 p.m. Monday for asphalt overlay work and repairs.
The closure on College Avenue will extend from Del Cerro Boulevard to Canyon Crest Drive and East Campus Drive/Alvarado Road with work occurring from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night through Thursday.
Estimated to cost $1.8 million, this segment of work includes improvements to more than two lane miles.
Additionally, the city of San Diego, in coordination with Caltrans, will initiate a full closure of the eastbound and westbound on- and off-ramps connecting College Avenue and Interstate 8.
Northbound and southbound traffic on College Avenue will be allowed to continue, but will be reduced to one lane in each direction while the repairs take place.
Electronic signage is posted notifying travelers of the closure and associated detours.
This work is part of the $5.5 million AC Overlay 2202 Phase 2 (SS), to resurface more than five lane miles of various streets across several communities.
The work includes removing damaged roadway surfaces, replacing them with fresh asphalt and re-striping the lanes. It also includes upgrading curb ramps to improve access for people with disabilities and replacing cross gutters, curbs and gutters and sidewalks.
