East College Way to close for repaving Aug. 22 to 26

East College Way from South College Drive to Old Main will be repaved this summer to address the deteriorating and unsafe road conditions. The project also includes new crosswalks and signage. The bike lane will be eliminated; both the north and south lanes will become "sharrows," or shared vehicle/bike lanes.

Campus safety representatives have met for the past three months to ensure safety and access issues are properly addressed both during and after construction.

East College Way will be closed to vehicles and bikes for approximately one week (Monday, Aug. 22 through Friday, Aug. 26) during repaving. This time frame was chosen in order to cause the least disruption to campus. Detours and parking issues are being finalized; future notices will be distributed to campus.
