Traffic Advisory: Press & Virginia Avenues

Project:  UK HealthCare Hospital Garage Expansion
Areas Affected:  Press & Transcript Avenues

The campus community will notice a change in traffic patterns in the vicinity of the UK HealthCare Hospital Garage, starting today.
 
Below are details:

• The intersection of Press and Transcript avenues closed earlier today to allow construction to connect Elizabeth Street to Press Avenue. This work is expected to take approximately three weeks, and the intersection and roadway is scheduled to reopen during the first week of September. However, this work is weather dependent.
• Access to employee parking lots remains available on Press Avenue as far south as Gazette Avenue. The Press Avenue Garage, Press Avenue North Lot, the Leader Avenue Lot, and the Press Avenue South Lot remain available via Virginia and Press Avenue.
• Traffic exiting the UK HealthCare Garage will continue to turn left from the exit onto Conn Terrace, toward South Limestone. Right turns onto Conn Terrace remain unavailable.
• Local traffic to the 200 blocks of Transcript and Conn Terrace may access those neighborhoods via Transcript Avenue. Rather than traveling west along Transcript, local traffic is diverted through the bypass adjacent to the new UK HealthCare Hospital Garage entry drive, and then across Elizabeth Street to Conn Terrace.
