From Pure Water San Diego: On Tuesday, January 21, the City of San Diego’s contractor will begin two weeks of preparation work in the southern portion of the Nobel Drive and Genesee Avenue intersection as part of the Pure Water San Diego Morena Northern Pipelines and Tunnels Project.
Following the preparation work, the contractor will remove traffic control from the intersection to install large-diameter pipelines on Genesee Avenue between Decoro Street and Nobel Drive, before returning to the intersection as early as March to install pipelines through the intersection.
Please note: Both the UCPG Planning Group and the UCCA Community Association will have updates at their January public meetings about this construction work at Nobel and Genesee; meeting information is at the end of this post.
What to Expect during this phase of construction:
- Two weeks of preparation work will begin on Jan. 21, and is scheduled Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. As with all construction, the schedule is subject to change.
- Two-way traffic on Nobel Drive and Genesee Avenue will be maintained. All right turns will be permitted, and left turns will be detoured via U-turns at Esplanade Court to the north, Lombard Place to the east, Decoro Street to the south and Cargill Avenue to the west.
- Traffic signals around the intersection will be placed on flashing red with flaggers directing traffic during working hours.
