October 9 | Upcoming Oceanside Campus Road Work — Please Allow Extra Travel Time
Beginning Monday, October 12, MiraCosta College will begin the next phase of pavement improvements at the Oceanside Campus.
Construction will affect portions of Barnard Drive and Glaser Drive and will continue in phases through December.
While access to the campus will remain available, temporary traffic changes and delays are possible. Students and employees are encouraged to allow additional time when traveling to and through the Oceanside Campus, particularly during the morning and afternoon arrival periods.
Parking Lot 4C and the Track Road portions of the project have already been completed.
We appreciate your patience as we complete these improvements and will continue to
provide updates throughout the project.
