UPDATE 11/30/20: This work has been extended through December 20th.
UPDATE 6/29/20: This work has been extended through the end of September.
Within the next few days, we will start to close off the extension of Riverfront Parkway that connects to the underpass under the railroad tracks. This is being shut down completely in association with the construction of the parking garage. As rework to the roadway, as well as large trucks accessing the site loaded with huge pieces of pre-cast concrete will make that extension an unsafe location for pedestrians, bikes and vehicles.
Access to the area of campus north of the railroad will need to occur through either the Garden Way underpass, or the access near the old EWEB heat plant.
Simon Ditton confirmed with the fire department that they would be able to access the north property through the EWEB route.
We will be installing detour signage on the construction fence that is being installed around the perimeter of the area, guiding people to the Garden Way Underpass.
This will remain closed until the garage work is complete, which will likely be near the end of June.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
