Marina: Imjin Parkway

Phase 1 construction work continues during the day on Imjin Parkway for approximately 13 months. Please be aware that there is still only one lane for travel in each direction between Imjin Road and Reservation Road and the speed limit is 25 mph. Please also note the following information:

1.      Preston Drive -there is no access to the Preston Drive/Imjin Parkway intersection while we construct a portion of the roundabout. The intersection is expected to re-open in August 2024. A detour to access Preston Drive via Abrams Drive is posted.

2.      Abrams Drive - access to Abrams Drive remains open.

3.      Marina Heights - access to Marina Heights Drive remains open.

4.      Imjin Road - access to Imjin Road remains open.

Beginning 5/13/2024, Marina Heights Drive will be closed from 9A to 3:30P.  Additionally, there will be flaggers at Imjin Parkway/Marina Heights Drive stopping traffic to allow earth moving equipment to cross Imjin Parkway as needed.  Marina Heights will be open during non-working hours (i.e. open after 3:30P until 9A and weekends).  This is a “soft” closure so emergency vehicles will have access to Marina Heights Drive at all times.  We anticipate the duration to be 5/13/2024 to 5/24/2024.

Detour signs will be in place to guide traffic onto alternate routes. A signed alternate route for Blanco Road “westbound” (toward Monterey) traffic approaching Reservation Road is posted. This alternate route will begin at the signal with Research Drive through the UC-MBEST property (between Blanco Road and Imjin Parkway) using Research Drive and University.

Emergency vehicles will have access at all times.
