University Drive Widening Project
The City of Irvine began construction work on University Dr, between MacArthur Blvd and Campus Dr, to reduce traffic congestion for vehicles, bicyclists, & pedestrians. Once completed in Spring 2020, this project will widen University Drive with an additional traffic lane in each direction & add better facilities for pedestrians & bicyclists. To provide minimal impact to the campus, work will take place Monday-Friday, from 9 pm-5 am, with some additional work occurring from 9 am-3 pm.
For questions about the project, please email the City of Irvine at universitywidening@cityofirvine.org. Thank you for your patience as we support the City of Irvine during this construction project.
