Summer Road Closings and Lane Narrowings Begin in May

A number of road closings and lane narrowings will begin in May and last through the summer months. The maps below highlight changes for portions of Hackberry Lane, Second Avenue, Fourth Street West, Eighth Street, Colonial Drive and Magnolia Drive.

Hackberry Lane, May 6 – May 24

The northbound lane of Hackberry Lane closest to the UA Aquatic Center will be narrowed to allow for curb and gutter work during renovations. While the lane will not be closed, drivers are asked to use caution in the narrowed area.

Eighth Street, May 6 – July 15

Eighth Street will be closed during this time due to a thermal piping installation project. The intersection of Colonial Drive and Eighth Street is scheduled to be closed from May 6-27, resulting in Colonial Drive being closed from University Boulevard to Eighth Street.
