Section of University Drive to Close Weekdays From 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Starting on Monday, Aug. 22

Summary of Disruption: University Drive between Magnolia Lane on the east to the entrance of Parking Lot J on the west (see map) will be closed starting at 7:30 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 22. The eastbound and westbound lanes will be shut down on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The eastbound lane will re-open on weekdays after 3:30 p.m. Access to Parking Lot A using eastbound University Drive will be available weekdays until 7:30 a.m. The eastbound lane will be closed to faculty, staff and students. However, a traffic control officer will allow Bronco Express shuttle buses, Foundation and state vehicles, and drivers displaying ADA tags to enter the eastbound lane. The westbound lane is closed to all vehicles.

Reason for Disruption: The lane closure will help improve safety to pedestrians and drivers and allow for an expedited construction schedule. The rehabilitation of University Drive includes a widening of the street, a new layer of asphalt, creation of a dedicated shuttle bus lane, construction of new crosswalks and improved Americans with Disability Act (ADA) accessibility. 

How does this affect me? Drivers who use Parking Lot A behind Building One are urged to use Lot J, Lots F1-F5 and Parking Structure 1. ADA parking spots are available for drivers along Mansion Lane and behind Building One. Commuters can access the F series parking lots and Parking Structure 1 from Magnolia Lane. Electric vehicle charging stations in Lot H can be accessed by driving through the F lots.

What do I need to do? Expect delays and proceed with caution when approaching the construction zones. Follow detours signs and the directions of traffic control officers. Please share this information with others who may have not received this message.
