It has been the subject of lawsuits, including one that dragged on for nearly a decade, an eyesore to residents in the community and an enigma to those who have passed and wondered the obvious: Why isn’t it open?
Chain-link fencing, traffic cones and construction signs have long prevented vehicles from traveling under State Route 163 along a short stretch of Hazard Center Drive promised years ago to provide much needed relief for traffic congestion on roads surrounding shopping areas in Mission Valley.
Known officially as the westerly extension of Hazard Center Drive, the idea originated in the 1980s as a condition of the Hazard Center redevelopment project as the area was transitioning from a brickyard to a commercial center in a neighborhoodThe road extension was pitched as a way to reduce the traffic congestion predicted at the time and affecting the area now.
After years of assurances to the public that the underpass was months away from being opened, it remains as closed as ever to drivers. The city said it is not involved with the project and is only responsible for inspecting the roadway before it’s opened. The westerly extension of Hazard Center Drive, which once open will connect Hazard Center to Fashion Valley, was a part of that plan from nearly the beginning.
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company had originally agreed to build the road when is sold the property to Principal Global Investors, but later claimed in court that unforeseen complications in the area planned for the road now made building it nearly impossible.
