The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) approved the permit for the East Campus Streetscapes project to activate at the corners of Techwood Drive and North Avenue. Adjustments are being made to shorten the distance between corners providing a safer route for pedestrians and the cycle track. New curb lines and ADA ramps will also be installed. Work on the northern corners will be complete by July 26 and construction will move to the southern corners. All corners should be open by August 9 barring any weather delays. 

The two north/south crosswalks on North Avenue will be closed and pedestrians will need to cross North Avenue at either Williams Street or in front of the Alumni House. 

Work will occur Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday/Sunday 4 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

Please see the associated logistics plan for the foot traffic detours for this area of construction.

Concurrent to this work (beginning approximately July 17), streetscape improvements will also be made between 4th and 5th Streets (area F1 on the map) in an effort to keep the overall East Campus Streetscapes project schedule intact. Please see the attached updated sequencing plan and traffic plan for these specific construction parameters and timelines.  

Driveway and alleyway access from Techwood Drive for Greek parking will be closed. All traffic will need to enter via the alleyway off of Fowler street. It is imperative that the area in the middle of the Greek lots remain open to allow access to both lots. 

Plans for accessing the dumpster for waste management are in development.

Please pardon our progress as we make these important campus improvements.
