To support the exciting expansion of our Sacramento Campus—including the new 900,000-square-foot California Tower and 40,000-square-foot Central Utility Plant Annex—we’re making temporary traffic changes to ensure safety and minimize disruption during construction. The Annex building will house the required utilities for future projects like the California Tower, with approximately 2,000 linear feet of required underground utilities across campus.
Major Project Impacts
Much of the work will begin on Aug. 18 and includes the:
Construction of underground utility loop and Central Utility Plant Annex (ongoing)
Implementation of one-way traffic loop around campus
Start of lane closures on X and 48th streets
Temporary relocation of shuttle stops and closure of ASB/Education lot
One-Way Traffic Loop
The implementation of a new one-way traffic loop includes the following adjustments:
X Street (45th to 48th): Motorists will travel eastbound only. Former westbound lanes will carry eastbound traffic. Pedestrians must use the north sidewalk.
48th Street (X to Y): Motorists will travel southbound only. Former northbound lanes will carry southbound traffic. Pedestrians must use the east sidewalk.
45th Street (2nd Avenue to Y): This will be closed to the public. Emergency vehicles, shuttles, buses and the Cancer Center valet may continue utilizing northbound lanes. Pedestrian access remains open.
Additional Impacts
Shuttle Stops| Temporarily relocated to:
48X Complex drop-off
45th Street in front of the Cancer Center
Comprehensive Cancer Center:
Drop-off will be relocated to the east side of the Cancer Center
Cell phone waiting will be relocated to Y Street
Valet service remains available
ASB/Education Building Lot: Temporarily closed (accessed via X Street)
X Street Pedestrian Access:
Crosswalks at Parking Structures 4 and 5 will be closed
South sidewalk near the Education Building will be closed (building exits remain open)
North sidewalk remains open
Why This Matters
