West Avenue on Cornell campus will be closed to traffic June 30-July 6

West Avenue, between Campus Road and University Avenue on the Cornell University campus, will be closed to traffic from Monday, June 30, at 6 a.m. to Sunday, July 6, at 6 p.m., according to Cornell's Department of Utilities.

WD parking at the north end of West Avenue will remain open during this period and will be accessible via University Avenue. The bus stops on West Avenue will be relocated to Stewart Avenue, across from and in front of the Noyes Community Center loading dock.

The road will be closed to allow the City of Ithaca to relocate a water line and the utilities department to route a new steam line across the street, said Frank Perry, the project manager. Closing of the road for a week to complete the projects will forestall the necessity of having single-lane-only traffic for two weeks, he said.

For further information on the project, call Perry at 255-6634.
