Construction work on University Drive, between the Brophy Hall entrance and the intersection with Western Avenue, which began this week, is expected to last approximately three weeks.
The City of Macomb is having a contractor remove and reconstruct the driving surface at that location, conducting work on one side of the median roadway at a time. Traffic will be restricted to one lane each way on the same side of the median during construction. Once one side is complete, it will open, and the same work will be conducted on the opposite side of the median. This approach ensures travel is not inhibited and the roadway remains open.
Access to WIU drives and parking lots will remain open during this period. The City of Macomb will ensure proper signage is placed to direct traffic to the correct side of the road.
