From Sarah Bowles, Community Outreach Specialist, Public Utilities Department: On November 1, 2022, expect concrete barrier installation and contractor mobilization on Genesee Avenue in Clairemont between Appleton Street and SR 52 to begin in preparation for the Morena Northern Pipelines and Tunnels project in University City.
- The northbound lanes on Genesee Avenue in Clairemont will be closed for the installation of the pipeline.
