The work is finally done expanding to 3 travel lanes and a bike lane on University Drive.
Initially work began 2 years ago and there were no detour signs posted as the bike lanes were completely closed off with no shoulder. Eventually there was a posted detour to use the Class I bikeway (San Diego Creek / Peters Canyon / Regional Parks Connector / Mountains to the Sea ‘Trail’) to avoid riding on University while the Class II bike lanes were gone. It is legal to ride a travel lane, but too narrow to share on the edge, and very stressful to control the right lane when so many motorist want us to get out of their way. It was recommended that you use the San Diego Creek bikeway instead - just know it is posted 10 MPH and a multi-use path so it is full of other users. Southbound you may want to get on near the NW corner of Harvard & University. There are access points at Campus, Mesa, California and the off ramp from the 73, (as well as our usual NW corner of Eastbluff & Jamboree farther west)

Update: October 2020 - Work is almost complete and the Bike Lanes & fresh pavement are open.
