Preliminary site investigations along Glaser and Lawrence Roads have begun.
See the Construction Impacts website for details.
11 of the planned 29 sites are currently mapped below. Other locations will be added as the project progresses.

Traffic
There will be minimal traffic disruptions such as one-lane closures, but there will be no full road closures.
Parking
There will be limited impacts on parking.
Details on future impacts will be posted to this page and shared via email and Elements.
Shuttle Service
All routes will remain normal and no delays are expected other than at single-lane closures.
Electrical Outages
There will be no utilities outages for the mapping underground utilities phase.
The schedule is subject to change without notice.

LAMP is a long term infrastructure project to design and construct utility upgrades across the Lab, including electricity, water, natural gas, compressed air, sewer, storm drain, process controls and IT. These upgrades will:
Modernize linear utilities across the site, including natural gas, electrical distribution, and water services and, where possible, add system loops, which will increase utility service diversity and resiliency.
Develop utility corridors where common system alignments are practical. Utility corridors will create future operations and maintenance efficiencies, which means fewer traffic impacts and fewer maintenance outages.
Increase electrical capacity at Grizzly Substation, and provide additional power for users.
LAMP design and construction efforts will span approximately five years. The scope of the project is to increase the capacity of the Grizzly Substation, provide additional power to Building 59 for NERSC, and perform utility upgrades in the Lawrence Corridor.
Preliminary Site Investigation of Underground Utilities (March 2025 - July 2025)
Before construction can begin, LAMP will map 29 locations along Lawrence and Glaser Roads to gather data about underground utilities, enabling design work for future phases of the project.
This phase is expected to take a few months, tentatively from March to July.
Mapping will occur at 29 locations.
The team will use potholing methods to excavate and expose the utilities.
Each site will take several days to complete before being restored to previous conditions.
The locations are included on the site impacts map.
