Construction projects and University Boulevard beautification and improvements will create lane and road closings and possible traffic congestion for varying lengths of time. The maps below highlight traffic changes for University Boulevard, Second Avenue, McCorvey Drive, Bryant Drive, Seventh Avenue and Magnolia Drive.

University Boulevard Phase III
Work along Helen Keller Boulevard has already started. This work will not require a complete road closure but single lane closures can be expected. Work should finish by Aug. 5. University Boulevard work will start on May 7 and last until Aug. 8. Heavy construction can be expected, but both eastbound and westbound travel lanes will be kept open as construction progresses.
Capstone Parking Deck
Second Avenue will close completely from Bryant Drive to University Boulevard from May 8 to Aug. 1. No through traffic will be allowed. The two northernmost lanes (westbound) of Bryant Drive also will close from May 8 to Aug. 1. Westbound traffic will be directed into a single lane and utilize the turn lane in the center of Bryant Drive. Eastbound traffic will stay as is.
New Freshman Residence Hall
McCorvey Drive will close on May 8 in order to mill the existing top layer of asphalt. On May 9, McCorvey Drive will re-open to traffic; however, lanes will be adjusted to allow for curb and gutter work, which could last until May 25. Once curb and gutter work is complete, McCorvey Drive will close again to allow for repaving. Date(s) for repaving are to be determined.
H.M. Comer Renovation
Seventh Avenue will completely close directly in front of H.M. Comer Hall starting on May 9 and could last until June 22. Traffic will be able to access the MIB (Ferguson) Lot just north of the Campus Drive west intersection. Traffic from Shelby Lane will be allowed to turn north onto Seventh Avenue.
Delta Zeta Sorority House
Magnolia Drive will close completely from the south end of the new Delta Zeta sorority house and north to the intersection of Judy Bonner Drive. Traffic will be directed into the alley just south of the construction on the east side of Magnolia Drive.
