An update from the Merced 2020 Project Construction Team
Dear Campus Community,
Over the remainder of the summer, four upcoming construction projects — both on and adjacent to the campus — will be completed in order to improve road circulation and expand critical infrastructure. The four projects include:
- Adding paved shoulders to Lake Road between Yosemite Avenue and Bellevue Road. This work will be performed under the supervision of Merced County;
- Expanding an 8-inch Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) gas line along Bellevue Road between G Street and Lake Road. This work will be performed under the supervision of PG&E;
- Repaving and restriping the pavement along Ranchers Road between Lake Road and the Fairfield Canal. This work will be performed under the supervision of the university; and
- Creating a new campus entrance at the intersection of Lake Road and Bellevue Road. This work will be performed by Plenary Properties Merced under contract with the university.
The projects are scheduled to begin during the second week of July and will be largely complete by the end of August. The PG&E gas line work is anticipated to conclude in September. As construction progresses, the latest updates will be posted online at: http://merced2020.ucmerced.edu/construction .
At various points during this work, flaggers will guide portions of Lake, Bellevue and Ranchers roads during construction hours. Please expect one-way traffic control and exercise caution while in the vicinity of all construction activities. Thank you for your patience, cooperation and understanding. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the construction team for additional details.
Best regards,
Merced 2020 Campus Expansion Team
