The final phase of the Yale Boulevard Roundabout project on the University of New Mexico’s north campus is scheduled to begin on Saturday, Dec. 1, and the project will be completed on Jan. 11, 2008.
In this phase of the project, Yale Boulevard will be opened from Lomas to Camino de Salud. Yale will then be closed from Camino de Salud to Tucker during this time while Camino de Salud west of Yale will be reopened to traffic.
The detour through the Physics parking lot will remain open to allow access to Camino de Salud east of Yale. Commuters, students and staff traveling to the Law School, Health Sciences Center or parking areas will be diverted west to the intersection of Camino de Salud and Tucker to avoid construction.
By starting this phase on a Saturday, instead of Monday, Dec. 3, the contractor will be able to reconfigure the construction site with lighter traffic in the area. The detour road will be established when regular pedestrian and vehicular traffic return to campus that Monday.
