  <title><![CDATA[Sidewalk and Lane Closures for Techwood Drive Begin Feb. 7]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The sidewalk along Techwood Drive between North Avenue and Bobby Dodd Way will be unavailable for an extended time beginning Wednesday, Feb. 7, and continuing through early March 2026. &nbsp;</p>

<p>This two-year timespan is due to construction work beginning on the Thomas A. Fanning Student-Athlete Performance Center, to be built on the footprint of the Edge/Rice Center in the northeast corner of Bobby Dodd Stadium. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In addition to the sidewalk, the southbound traffic lane of Techwood Drive will also be closed to thru traffic beginning Monday, Feb. 12. Techwood Drive northbound traffic will remain open.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Additionally, the sidewalk along Bobby Dodd Way adjacent to the stadium will be closed from Feb. 12 through Sept. 1.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Detour routes and associated signage will be in place to ensure the safety of pedestrian and vehicular movement through the area.&nbsp;</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
