Posted on by

As part of the West Greenhouse Improvement Project, a section of the eastbound lane on SW Campus Way will be closed along with a section of the south sidewalk on Friday, May 5 from 7 AM to 4PM. The impacted section is located between SW 30th and SW 35th Streets in front of the Motor Pool West and National Forage Seed Center East parking lots. The parking lots will remain open. However, the east entrance to the NFSC East parking lot will be closed and multiple parking spaces will be unavailable.

Drivers should expect to see flaggers directing traffic around the closure. A pedestrian detour will be available along the north sidewalk.

There are two maps pictured. One map shows a pedestrian detour along the north sidewalk on SW Campus Way. The second map shows a sidewalk and lane closure on the south side of SW Campus Way.

3/6 – 12/1: Construction Fencing Partially Obstructing Sidewalk on SW Campus Way

Posted on by

As part of the West Greenhouse Improvement project, construction fencing will be placed along the north sidewalk of SW Campus Way.

The fencing will extend from the driveway west of the greenhouses to the western side of the Seed Laboratory. The fencing will create a minor obstruction along the inside edge of the sidewalk, while still allowing pedestrian access in compliance with regulations. Pedestrians who use this sidewalk are advised to use extra caution and be aware of possible obstructions.

The map shows the location of construction fencing placed along a section of the north sidewalk of SW Campus Way. The fencing extends from just west of the greenhouses to the western side of the Seed Laboratory. The picture shows the legs of the fence placed on the inner edge of the sidewalk, with a three foot clearance to the outside edge.
