Beginning Tuesday, May 28 the college will be undertaking the reconstruction of South Drive and the elimination\/reconstruction of Cross Road. This project\u00a0is scheduled to\u00a0be completed August 23rd.<\/p>\n
Once the project is completed the new South Drive will consist of three lanes of traffic with two lanes exiting campus and one lane entering from Route 4. \u00a0Also the north\/south\u00a0access\u00a0roadway, new Cross Road,\u00a0will be the existing north\/south\u00a0roadway behind the McDonough Complex.<\/p>\n
During the reconstruction, South Drive will be closed to all traffic from Route 4\u00a0to the current Cross Road and Cross Road\u00a0will be closed from the McDonough Complex to Higbee Hall. \u00a0Appropriate detours will be in place to allow for north\/south vehicular access and also to allow for\u00a0 east\/west pedestrian access.\u00a0 Additionally “D” lot (located behind Lang Hall) will be closed\u00a0to parking.<\/p>\n
At this time we are working out what will be the most practical way to re-route traffic while allowing the contractor to accomplish his work. It appears that we may be able to keep the parking garage open for some of the summer, however, it will most likely only be the east entrance that will be able to be used. No matter which detours we set up or which roadways are closed during the upcoming summer, I would like to remind everyone that the 1,500 parking spaces along North Drive will not be touched and will be available for your use all summer. Additionally all of the lots east of McDonough also will be available all summer long.<\/p>\n
When the existing Cross Road elimination\/reconstruction is completed there will be a “drop off” circle in front of McDonough and another\u00a0 “drop off” area south of Higbee Hall. The remainder of the current Cross Road will become pedestrian green space which will eliminate\u00a0 pedestrian\/vehicle confrontations.<\/p>\n
Also included in the project will be modifications to the loading area behind the Campus Center\u00a0as well as\u00a0modifications to the two existing staff\u00a0parking areas located east of the campus center.<\/p>\n
Parking lot “C” ( located south of Hudson Hall) also will be repaved and reconfigured as part of this project and that work may require the temporary closing of\u00a0the lot while the work is performed.<\/p>\n
As this is an\u00a0extensive project, I am\u00a0asking everyone to obey the detours that will be set up.\u00a0\u00a0There will be no pedestrian traffic through the construction site except at designated detours.<\/p>\n
Your cooperation is appreciated and as usual sorry for the inconvenience.<\/p>\n
