On Wednesday, October 2, an overnight closure will be in place for crews to pour concrete to form the Trolley bridge.
The following closures will be in place:
Tuesday, October 1:

The Mid-Coast Trolley Project will extend Trolley service from Old Town Transit Center to the University community, serving major activity centers such as Mission Bay, the VA Medical Center, UC San Diego, and University Towne Centre. Nine new stations will be constructed. Major construction work began in 2016, with service anticipated to begin in late 2021.
