Campus roads still to close for paving

The intersection of Bigler and Curtin roads on campus will be closed from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Tuesday and Wednesday night. The intersection will reopen to traffic 6 a.m. Thursday.

The previously planned closure between Friday and Sunday is cancelled. Closures are still scheduled for a few nights between Aug. 11 and 15 for the final paving installation.

Bigler Road will be closed from Curtin to Pollock roads periodically to continue utility work between July 17 and Aug. 15.
