The interchange, closed for 55 hours from Feb. 27 to March 2, is now open in its new configuration as a diverging diamond interchange. Students, faculty and staff should still allow for extra time to reach their destinations while construction continues in the area.
Access on to and off from the freeway at University Parkway will be closed beginning at 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27, through 4 a.m. Monday, March 2. Students, faculty, staff and visitors who use the University Parkway-Interstate 215 interchange should plan on an alternate route and allow for extra time to reach their destinations.
Preliminary work, which includes surveying, installing concrete barriers and construction signage and temporary roadway striping, will mark the start of the realignment of the interchange that serves the CSUSB campus. Plan on using alternate routes to the university to avoid delays.
Commute time on the main thoroughfare to and from campus will be affected during construction, which is expected to begin in October and last for about a year.
Due to construction and maintenance, Caltrans has closed the southbound Palm Avenue offramp of Interstate 215. Caltrans expects to reopen the offramp on or before Oct. 30.
