Avenue of Champions to Close on Monday

Contractors are scheduled to begin milling and repaving Avenue of Champions on Monday, May 12. This work will require closure of both east and westbound lanes from South Limestone to Rose Street. 

The work is weather dependent and is expected to last approximately two weeks.

During this time, the Gatton Student Center Visitor Lot will be unavailable. Student Center and Visitor Center patrons can instead park in nearby Cornerstone Garage (PS #5).

The campus Blue and White bus routes will also be impacted by this street closure. 

Blue Route buses will travel South Limestone to East Maxwell, bypassing Avenue of Champions. They’ll turn right from East Maxwell onto Woodland Avenue, continuing the normal route from there.

The following Blue Route stops will be unavailable: 

• Student Center
• Singletary Center
• College of Fine Arts
• Columbia Avenue.

White Route buses will also bypass Avenue of Champions, traveling from Woodland Avenue to High Street, then taking a left onto Upper Street.

The following White Route stops will be unavailable: 

• Greek Park
• Rose Lane
• Memorial Coliseum
• Jewell Hall
• Winslow Street

Sidewalks along Avenue of Champions will remain open. Pedestrians and cyclists should exercise caution in the area.
