From the Pure Water project team (March 22, 2024): On Saturday, March 23, traffic along a segment of Genesee Avenue will shift into the northbound lanes for the construction of the City of San Diego Morena Northern Pipelines and Tunnels project in University City.
This new section of pipeline construction will include traffic control setup and pipeline construction between Centurion Square and Luigi Terrace. Construction crews will install one 48-inch wastewater pipeline and one 30-inch brine pipeline in a 13-foot-wide trench in the southbound lanes of Genesee Ave. and in a tunnel under the railroad tracks in Rose Canyon.
Construction will occur Monday through Friday during the daytime from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Construction will start in on Saturday, March 23, and continue through Fall 2024. There will be no intersection closures as part of this work.
Please plan extra time when traveling on Genesee Avenue. University City High School students and parents can use the entrance at Centurion Square and the student gate during the morning school commute/drop-off. The student entry will remain open for easier access.
The City and project team are committed to completing construction as efficiently as possible with safety as our highest priority, and the community’s patience and coordination are appreciated.
