University Place detour to begin June 13

By the Office of Community and Regional Affairs on June 8, 2015, 4:41 p.m.

Starting on Saturday, June 13, University Place will be closed to through traffic from College Road to Alexander Street due to work to repair the crosswalk adjacent to the Berlind Theatre. This closure is expected to remain in place for three to four weeks. 

A detour for vehicular traffic will be in place for the duration of the closure. A temporary traffic signal at the intersection of College Road and Alexander Street will be operational while the detour is being used. 

Local access to and from the metered diagonal parking spaces along University Place south of College Road, adjacent to the McCarter Theatre Center, will be maintained via the College Road-University Place intersection. 

Additionally, pedestrian and bike paths in the area will be shifted during this construction phase. Please follow signage that will be posted in the area.

An updated map showing vehicular, pedestrian and bike detours is available on the Arts and Transit Project website. 

If you have questions, please email or call 609-258-8023.
