Closures and Detours

Mountain Goat Run May 5 to Lead to Road Closures, Shuttle Delays on Campus

The 46th annual Mountain Goat Run will take place Sunday, May 5. More than 2,500 runners are expected to take part in the race, which will affect traffic and roads in the city throughout the day. The 10-mile course traverses a large section of the City of Syracuse, including roads on campus and around the University area.

Members of the campus community should be advised that temporary road closures will take place between 9:45 a.m. and noon on the day of the race. Centro shuttles and Syracuse University trolleys will also be delayed during that time, affecting travel to and from South Campus.

Traffic Patterns After the Concert

Syracuse University’s Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) will make a temporary change to campus traffic patterns following the conclusion of the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert at the JMA Wireless Dome.

Just as they did after previous events, as the concert ends, PTS and the Syracuse Police Department will close Comstock Avenue to all traffic except parking shuttles, which will travel between the College Place bus stop, the Colvin Street and Comstock Avenue lots, and the Skytop Lot.

The concert is anticipated to end between 10 and 11 p.m., and at that time, PTS will direct all traffic away from Comstock Avenue between Waverly Avenue and East Colvin Street. This will allow for the efficient exit and transportation of the concert attendees from the shuttle stop at College Place to their parking lots on South Campus.

The road will reopen as soon as the concert shuttles are cleared. Regular shuttles to South Campus and other campus shuttles will continue to run during and after the event, though arrivals and departures may be delayed due to the large amount of vehicular traffic in the University area.

Skytop Road Exit to Close Temporarily Thursday, Oct. 26

On Thursday, Oct. 26, the Skytop Road exit at Colvin Street will be closed temporarily, from 9 a.m. to noon, due to new light pole installations.

While drivers will still be able to enter Skytop Road during this time, those needing to exit South Campus will be detoured through Small Road and will exit onto Colvin Street by the University Village Apartments.

Thank you for your cooperation and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Please contact Parking and Transportation Services at 315.443.4652 or via email at parkmail@syr.edu with any questions or concerns.

Syracuse University’s Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) will make a temporary change to campus traffic patterns following the conclusion of the Def Leppard/ Motley Crue concert at the JMA Wireless Dome on Saturday, August 5, 2023.

The concert is anticipated to end between 10 and 11 p.m., and at that time, PTS will direct all traffic away from Comstock Avenue between Waverly Avenue and East Colvin Street.
