2018 Construction Winding Down, New Traffic Patterns Establishing

With the academic year in full swing and many projects completing their respective construction activities before winter sets in, a few traffic patterns will change for the remainder of the fall semester, and beyond.

Most notably, the portion of Jim Calhoun Way closed between Separatist Road and I Lot (adjacent to Freitas Ice Forum) will reopen by mid-October.  At that time, a new portion of Jim Calhoun Way will close between Alumni Drive and I Lot.  This closure will be in place until Summer 2020 for completion of additional infrastructure upgrades for the southwest area of campus and development of new athletic facilities.

I Lot will remain accessible from Separatist Road and the remainder of Jim Calhoun Way may be accessed from Alumni Drive or Hillside Road.  Buses, special event and game traffic will be permitted through Hilltop Apartments when necessary.

Also, as the final paving course, road markings and landscape improvements are completed along North Eagleville Road, left turns onto Glenbrook Road will be re-established for inbound traffic.  Outbound traffic on North Eagleville Road will stop and yield to oncoming inbound traffic turning left onto Glenbrook Road.

Please plan accordingly for travel delays related to these and other areas of campus as outlined in this presentation.  Traffic patterns are subject to change however updates will be announced when significant differences in construction logistics warrant.

We thank you for your patience and appreciate your understanding while we work to improve our campus facilities.
