A contractor is making pedestrian and accessible ramp improvements on the north side of the intersection at Skytop Road and East Colvin Street beginning today. Due to the work, sidewalk and accessible ramps on that side of the intersection will be closed through Aug. 15.
The work will include the reconstruction of accessible ramps, removal of an existing traffic island and asphalt paving. During this time pedestrians are required to cross Colvin Street at an alternate location, toward Comstock Avenue.
For more information, visit the campus map.
Pedestrians should observe and follow construction signs, remain alert near the work area and heed construction flagger directions/employees at work. Please contact Jim Blum, Campus Planning, Design and Construction senior project manager, at 315.256.5649 or jpblum@syr.edu with any questions or concerns.
