High Street to close in the morning Oct. 10

Update: Due to the late arrival of the mechanical equipment, the date of the High Street closure has changed to Oct. 10. Earlier versions of this announcement had the date as Oct. 3.

The contractor working on the remodel of Wilson Library will need to completely close High Street through the WWU campus from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10. Both lanes will be closed to allow the contractor to hoist some mechanical equipment into the library.

Whatcom Transportation Authority busses likely will be rerouted to pick up and drop off passengers at the foot of the Viking Union on N. Garden Street instead of the usual High Street stops at Haggard Hall and the Viking Union.
