Message From UC San Diego Leadership
UC San Diego has had a presence in Hillcrest since 1966, when the university began operating the former county hospital. Already a premier destination for patients in our region, the Hillcrest medical campus will deeply expand its capabilities to care for the community through an historic redevelopment.
Bachman Place Closure
From Monday, April 4, 2022 to mid-2025, Bachman Place will be closed to through traffic (vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle) between Hotel Circle South and Montecito Way. The Bachman Parking Structure will remain open and accessible to Health employees via Hotel Circle.
Construction site operating hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Typical site hours may vary. By extending this initial closure, it allows the university to install essential utility infrastructure upgrades and fully enhance the roadway, which will minimize future impacts or road closures and provide multimodal benefits to the community. These improvements are designed to facilitate better traffic flow for patients, community members, transit/buses, and emergency vehicles by widening the roadway, adding additional drive lanes, establishing new road connections, and incorporating bicycle lane improvements to accommodate the upcoming SANDAG bikeway enhancements in the area. UC San Diego is sensitive to the fact that the continued work involved may be disruptive at times and cause some traffic delays. Every effort is being made to reduce impacts to the campus and community. The university greatly appreciates the community’s patience and understanding as it works to deliver these important multimodal improvements.
