Huguelet Drive Construction Sidewalk and Traffic Impact Nov. 7-8, Nov. 16-25

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 6, 2015) — Steam line repairs will impact sidewalk access and traffic patterns on a portion of Huguelet Drive over the next few weeks.

On Saturday, Nov. 7 and Sunday, Nov. 8, the sidewalk immediately adjacent to the Thomas Poe Cooper Building will be excavated and the portion of Huguelet Drive from the Cooper Building to Rose Street will be closed for steam line work.

Work will take place between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on these days. Through traffic will be maintained at all times, with flagmen facilitating two-way vehicle traffic; posted detour signs will redirect traffic to turn left toward Limestone at the Rose Street and Huguelet Drive intersection, to turn right out of the Markey Cancer Center lots toward University Drive and to turn left out of the Kentucky Clinic Garage (PS #3) toward Limestone.

Pedestrians will be rerouted in the area 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but plates and handrails will be installed on the sidewalk adjacent to the Cooper Building to help maintain pedestrian access during times that work is not taking place.

From Monday, Nov. 16 to Wednesday, Nov. 25, work will resume on the steam line, with flagmen and traffic and pedestrian detours in place.

Members of the university community should allow extra time when traveling this section of campus.
