New Traffic Patterns Mark the Beginning of the 2018-19 Academic Year

As the the majority of summer construction concludes and another academic year begins, various improvements will continue through the fall semester with new impacts on campus traffic patterns.

Most notably, a portion of Jim Calhoun Way will close between Separatist Road and I Lot (adjacent to Freitas Ice Forum) for upgrading infrastructure that serves the southwest area of campus.  The closure begins on August 27th and is scheduled to reopen on October 2nd.  Jim Calhoun Way, all athletic facilities along it, and I Lot will remain accessible from Hillside Road and Alumni Drive.

Also, as North Eagleville Road reopens to normal traffic, left turns onto Glenbrook Road (inbound) will be accessible to emergency, service and other authorized vehicles, including special events coordinated by Public Safety.

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.
