Closures are as follows:

Monday, November 18, through Tuesday, November 19:

• Lane reductions on southbound I-5 from La Jolla Village Drive to Gilman Drive/La Jolla Colony Drive from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Two lanes of southbound traffic will remain open at a time
• Full closure of northbound I-5 from State Route 52 (SR 52) to La Jolla Village Drive from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Northbound detour routes are available via eastbound SR 52 and northbound Interstate 805 to northbound I-5 (see attached map).

The Mid-Coast Trolley project will extend UC San Diego Blue Line Trolley service from Downtown San Diego 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.
