Construction and Traffic Impacts

Facilities Management has scheduled sidewalk and traffic signal construction at the intersection of Charles E. Young Dr. South and Westwood Plaza. During the construction period there will be a phased closure of pedestrian crosswalks:

Phase One (Oct. 24 through Nov. 14): The east to west crosswalk on Westwood Plaza will be closed.
Phase Two (Nov. 15 through Dec. 4): The north to south crosswalk on Charles E. Young Dr. South will be closed.

There will be no vehicle traffic lane closures.

Metro will be closing the on and off-ramps from southbound I-405 to eastbound Wilshire Blvd. during the following dates and times:

10 a.m. to 5 a.m. nightly from September 25 through October 23
10 p.m. on November 6 through 5 a.m. on November 9
10 p.m. on November 13 through 5 a.m. on November 16

If you're coming to campus for work or an event during one of the affected dates and times, please make sure to allow extra time for your journey. Bruins/visitors coming from the north should exit at Sunset Blvd. to access campus during the closure dates/time.

Parking Structure 18 (PS 18) is currently closed for structural repairs. Limited parking is available on Levels C1 and C2 only and can be accessed exclusively from the Jules Stein entrance on Westwood Boulevard. All other levels are closed. Drivers should follow posted signage when accessing the structure.

Beginning April 2026, Parking Structure 18V (PS 18V) will undergo a partial closure due to improvements associated with the Switzer Plaza area and ongoing water intrusion repairs. Multiple aisles within the structure will be unavailable, reducing parking availability. Visitors should plan ahead when traveling to campus and allow extra time to park. Alternate visitor parking is available in Parking Structure 8 (PS 8) and Parking Structure 2 (PS 2).

Due to construction, the bus stop in front of UCLA Medical Plaza has been temporarily relocated in front of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Please see the map below for the new location.
