West Campus Drive Construction August 17, 2018 through August 24, 2018

Commencing Friday, August 17, 2018 our Utility Infrastructure contractor will be performing demolition and excavation activities on West Campus Drive. These activities will affect both the north-bound vehicle travel lane and bus stop near the Library (see map). During this work, the bus stop will be closed, and traffic will be reduced to one lane between the hours 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. We will have traffic control in both directions. Delays in this area should be anticipated. After 3:00 p.m., both lanes will be open to normal traffic flow. The construction work will be complete by Friday, August 24, 2018.

For questions, please contact PPFM Customer Service at PPFM-CustomerService@csulb.edu or (562) 985-5357. Thank you!
