Motorists are urged to find alternate routes while University Parkway at Interstate 215, where a new diverging diamond interchange is being built, will be closed to traffic from 9 p.m. April 17 to 5 a.m. April 20 to allow for paving and electrical work.

Students, faculty, staff and visitors who use the University Parkway-Interstate 215 interchange to reach the Cal State San Bernardino campus and the surrounding area should plan on alternate routes and extra traveling time.

On- and offramps in both directions, as well as a portion of University Parkway near the freeway, will be closed for 55 hours to allow for paving of the roadway and for electrical work.

Business access will be maintained on south University Parkway between Hallmark Parkway and the freeway and on University Parkway on the north side of the freeway. Detour routes will be posted. For most commuters, the best option to access Hallmark Parkway and I-215 will be at Palm Avenue.

In addition, commuters who travel on I-210 to the campus can use the H Street exits and reach campus via 30th Street and Little Mountain Drive. Regular construction alerts will be available to inform commuters about detours and closures, including when and where they will occur.

Also, note that crews will continue work in the project area, adjusting K-rail and finishing construction activities into early May. For the most up-to-date project and closure information, visit the project’s Google Map.

The work is being done by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) and the city of San Bernardino, in cooperation with Caltrans District 8, and is aimed at decreasing traffic congestion, reducing delays and improving freeway access to Interstate 215 at University Parkway.
