Upcoming Road Closure: Washington Avenue

Contractors are scheduled to replace a manhole on Washington Avenue next week, which will require temporary closure of the roadway.

Washington Avenue is scheduled to close to traffic starting at 5 p.m. on Friday, July 25, through Sunday evening, July 27. Please be aware that this work is weather dependent.

The south sidewalk closest to Scovell Hall will also be unavailable during this time. Pedestrians and cyclists can detour around the area by using sidewalks on Huguelet Drive or behind Research Facility #1 (College of Public Health building).

If this work cannot be completed by Sunday, July 27, contractors will install a steel plate over the work area to allow one lane of traffic to travel that roadway on Monday, July 28.

Parking permit holders who typically park in this area will need to make alternate arrangements.

If you have questions, please email UK Transportation Services or call 859-257-5757.
