Month: July 2018

Thanks to a dedicated group of contractors lead by Hutch-N-Son Construction, Newman road will open Friday July 27, two weeks ahead of schedule. This opening will provide an important connection between Highway 93 and Perimeter Road and aid in traffic delays along east campus routes. Please use caution along the new road and be aware of all new signage including the new traffic signal at the intersection of Newman and Perimeter Roads.

Barring additional weather delays, Highway 93 is expected to be open on Monday, August 13.

The intersection of Highway 93 and College Avenue will completely close on Wednesday, July 25 and reopen on August 10. Two-lane, two-way traffic along 93 between Cherry Street and Sherman Street will reopen at this time. The date for this closure is subject to possible delays in ongoing construction—communication outlets, including this blog, will be updated on Monday, July 23 if construction delays require the closure to be postponed.

Highway 93 from Cherry Road to Sherman Street will close completely on Saturday, July 14 at 5 am.  This section of 93 will remain closed until July 22nd. A one lane road will remain open between Sherman Street and College Avenue during this time. Flaggers will be present 24 hours a day to allow access to Sherman Street from College Avenue for construction and residential traffic.

No thru-traffic will be allowed.

A significant section of Highway 93 will be closed to traffic on Thursday, July 5, from 9:00 PM until 6:00 AM the following day. The closure will span from the intersection with Sherman Street to the intersection with Cherry Road. The closure is necessary in order to tie new chill water lines from 93 to the College of Business as well as the Alumni Center. During this time, contractor A West will have flaggers at College Avenue and Sherman Street in order to turn that part of the highway into a two-way road.
