Two lanes of University Boulevard will close from March 13 through Aug. 4 along an approximate one-half mile stretch from the intersection of University Boulevard and Bryant Drive west to the area near the intersection of University Boulevard and Second Avenue (near Arby’s).
The road will not close as two lanes will remain open, but traffic flow will be impacted. Initially, the westbound lanes will close for construction, but traffic will be two-way on the eastbound lanes from March 13 to May 27. Once the westbound construction is complete, two-way traffic will move to the westbound lanes, and the eastbound lanes will be closed for construction.
UA will replace the road’s concrete slabs with asphalt, make lighting improvements, and add medians, landscaping, a transit lane and a bike lane. This project is Phase II of a broader initiative to re-pave University Boulevard from McFarland Boulevard to downtown.
