Campus Road Work Continues Through Academic Year

Posted on

The Cal Poly Pomona road rehabilitation project that began this summer is ahead of schedule and expected to reach completion by Oct. 9, nearly a month earlier than originally planned. The project, which consists of removal and replacement of approximately 1.8 miles of existing street pavement and sub-base material, will impact access to campus roads and the 10 freeway during Fall Convocation and the beginning of classes.

Facilities Design & Construction has announced the following lane/road closures for the Kellogg Drive Rehabilitation Project:

  • Through Sept. 9 ? Kellogg Drive. The two southerly lanes of Kellogg Drive (from Red Gum Lane to South Campus Drive) will continue to be closed. Note: The two remaining lanes will be left open to provide one lane in each direction for traffic.
  • Sept. 4-12 ? Kellogg Drive. The two easterly lanes of Kellogg Drive (between University Drive and East Campus Drive) will be closed. Note: The two remaining lanes will be left open to provide one lane in each direction for traffic. Access to Kellogg Drive from Citrus Lane will be via Eucalyptus Lane to Red Gum Lane.
  • Sept. 4-26 ? East Campus Drive. Both lanes of East Campus Drive (from Kellogg Drive to South Campus Drive) will remain closed. Note: Access to the 10 freeway eastbound will be via Kellogg Drive to South Campus Drive. Detour signage has been posted.
  • Sept. 13-24 ? Kellogg Drive and 10 freeway on/off-ramps. The two westerly lanes of Kellogg Drive (from University Drive to East Campus Drive) will be closed. Note: One lane in each direction will be available for traffic. The 10 freeway on- and off-ramps at Kellogg Drive will be closed on Sept. 13, from 7 a.m. to noon, and Sept. 30, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Miscellaneous pickup work, cleanup and demobilization will conclude the road rehabilitation project through Oct. 9.

“This project enables the campus to replace the badly deteriorated roadways with new streets capable of supporting the current traffic volume being experienced,” says John Seidel, director of Facilities Design & Construction.

The $2.9 million project is funded through a partnership with the federal government, Los Angeles County and Cal Poly Pomona.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works is managing the reconstruction project. The county awarded the job to Vance Corp. in Rialto. Cal Poly Pomona Facilities Design & Construction is responsible for coordinating the work between the university and the county.

Foothill Transit buses are not using Kellogg Drive for the duration of the rehabilitation. Instead, buses use Temple Avenue and South Campus Drive for drop-offs and pick-ups.
