Closures and Detours

Euclid Avenue and College Place Intersection Closure Scheduled for Week of July 3

This week, the Office of Campus Planning, Design and Construction will reconstruct the intersection of College Place, Euclid Avenue and Sims Drive. The existing brick pavers will be removed and replaced with asphalt. This work will begin Thursday, July 6, and should conclude before Monday, July 10. The project will require the intersection to be closed to all thru-traffic.

Euclid Avenue will be closed between College Place and Comstock Avenue. Traffic to and from any buildings on Sims Drive or Forestry Drive, including the JMA Wireless Dome and the Barnes Center at The Arch, will need to access these facilities from Irving Avenue and East Raynor Avenue.

While the work is underway, permit holders for the College Place, Lyman-Hinds, Goldstein Alumni and Faculty Center parking lots will enter and exit via University Place. There will be a temporary bus stop on Comstock Avenue for Centro buses and University trolleys.

Delays in the proposed work may occur as a result of weather and/or unforeseen circumstances. In the event there is a significant delay, we will issue revised information as soon as possible.

Members of the campus community may contact Maxwell Perrin at 315.807.3213 or mpperrin@syr.edu with any questions or concerns.

Temporary Closure of Irving Avenue Begins Friday, June 16

Beginning on Friday, June 16, the stretch of Irving Avenue between East Raynor Avenue and Van Buren Street will close to vehicular traffic due to a construction project. Throughout the duration of the project, the Irving Avenue garage can only be accessed via its entrance on Stadium Place. Pedestrian access will be maintained, though anyone approaching the area should stay alert and follow all posted signage.

The contractor estimates that the road will be closed until Friday, July 7. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Parking and Transportation Services at 315.443.4652 or parkmail@syr.edu.

Temporary Road Closures: Sunday, May 1 for Mountain Goat Run

The 44th annual Mountain Goat Run will take place Sunday, May 1. 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, effecting travel to and from South Campus.

Runners will enter the University area from East Colvin Street by Manley Field House, necessitating road closures along Comstock Avenue. They will turn left on University Place through Thornden Park, exiting the park down Madison Street, and then turning right on South Crouse Avenue and left onto East Genesee Street.

Race organizers ask neighbors to proceed with caution and allow for additional travel time to your destination if they are traveling near the routes. Organizers also encourage community members to cheer on the race participants and join in the fun at the finish line in Clinton Square.
