The red bars signify two phases of road closure. The first, on Durham Research Plaza (formerly 45th Street), begins Dec. 9. |
Expect an increase in construction traffic and observe all safety and directional signage around the site. Notifications will be posted as changes occur.
Beginning the week of Dec. 9, the Phase 1 road closure for Durham Research Plaza (formerly 45th Street) will be in effect.
In order to facilitate construction of the center, the campus is required to temporarily close roads adjacent to the project site. This decision was made in an effort to improve construction site safety and positively impact the project schedule and budget.
The first phase of road closures, effective Dec. 9, will deter all access to Durham Research Plaza between Dewey Avenue and Emile Street. During this time, access to Lot 2 (green patient/visitor parking) will be maintained and construction traffic will continue. Pedestrians should exercise caution when crossing the road.
The street closure is scheduled to last until June.
Once Durham Research Plaza reopens, road construction will begin on Dewey Avenue (between 44th and 45th Streets). As a result, Dewey Avenue will close from June to October 2014.
To assist with traffic management and to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians, temporary road closure signage will be posted throughout campus.
Other upcoming changes
- Walkway between Durham Outpatient Center and Durham Research Center closing: As construction progresses, the walkway between Durham Outpatient Center and Durham Research Center will close. Pedestrians are asked to use the new walkway located within Lot 2 (green patient/visitor parking) garage on level B.
- Changes to Lot 3 begin today: The existing emergency department patient parking is scheduled to close today, at which time patients and visitors will be directed to park in the allotted stalls located in Lot 3 (garage located below the Medical Sciences Building). This change is necessary to replace public parking spots annexed by the expanding Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center project site. If you are a Lot 3 user and you have questions or concerns, please call Parking Services at 559-8580.
