SANDAG, in partnership with UC San Diego and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) completed construction of a new overcrossing over Interstate 5 (I-5) at Gilman Drive, just north of the La Jolla Village Drive Interchange. The three-span, pre-stressed concrete arch structure connects Gilman Drive to the west and Medical Center Drive to the east, providing a vital link between the west and east campuses of UC San Diego and adding a second on-campus crossing over I-5.
Constructed concurrent with the
Mid-Coast Trolley project, an 11-mile extension of the San Diego Trolley Blue Line that runs parallel to and crosses over I-5, SANDAG coordinated closely between the two projects to ensure smooth construction and effective use of space and resources.
