Construction Notice - Artesia Boulevard Access, March 3-20, 2026

The City of Compton will be performing street improvements along Artesia Boulevard between Santa Fe Avenue and Susana Street from March 3-20.

During this period, traffic along Artesia Boulevard will be reduced, and delays are expected near the Artesia entrance to campus. The City of Compton has confirmed that one lane of traffic will remain open at all times, with only brief, temporary full closures occurring as needed to move construction equipment. No all-day closures are planned.

While the Artesia Boulevard entrance is expected to remain accessible, students, employees, and visitors are strongly encouraged to use the Greenleaf Boulevard entrances when possible to avoid delays. Employees and students who normally travel via Artesia Boulevard should plan for additional travel time during this construction period.

We will share updates if conditions or access change.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as the City of Compton completes these improvements.

Alternative Transportation Suggestions

We suggest that carpooling or the use of public transportation might be viable options for some people. Information about local public transportation can be found online at: www.compton.edu/campusinformation/publictransportation.aspx

Safety Reminders

• The safety and well-being of students, faculty, staff and visitors is always a primary concern at Compton College.
• In an emergency, contact campus police 24/7 by calling 911 from any pay phone on campus; or by calling 310-900-1600, ext. 2999 from a cell phone.
• Night students and faculty are encouraged to park in the same general area as other faculty or students with night classes in their building; this provides the opportunity for a group of students and faculty to walk to their cars after dark.
• Immediately report any suspicious activity to campus police.
