The work is expected to continue for up to one week, depending on weather conditions and any construction-related delays. This work will require a temporary closure of this section of Academy Street.
Impacts to the University community
- Bus service along Academy Street will be affected during the closure.
- Access to Parking Lots 29 and 31 will be limited.
- Permit holders for Lots 29 and 31 are encouraged to use Lot 33 near Robinson Hall and Morris Library as alternative parking during the closure.
Additional updates will be shared as more information becomes available from the City of Newark, particularly if weather affects the construction schedule.
