Paseo del Sur Closure Continues Through December 31, 2018
The partial closure of the Paseo del Sur (Paseo) will continue through December 31, 2018, as part of the ongoing construction of the new Science and Engineering Building (SEB) and the installation of a bridge that will connect the SEB to the west side of the Paseo. During the closure, there will not be a continuous route along the Paseo del Sur from the Ford Avenue Lot bus stop to the ART and EB, as well as the staircase between the ART and FLN. Pedestrians will need to detour through the AET, BSE and EB alternate walking paths. A temporary sidewalk will be installed to supplement the primary path and signage will be used to assist with detours. For additional information, please reference the attached drawing or contact the Facilities Service Center at 458-4262.
