Rome Street Closing Communications

Construction on the Rome Street Project has begun with the installation of temporary fencing. This first step in the project will continue for one week. On Friday, June 15 at 6 p.m. Rome Street will close.

The work on the entire project is expected to be completed during the fall semester. It will shut down Rome Street from Frey Street on the north to Sloan Street on the south.

Accessibility to University buildings and parking lots will be affected, but Facilities Maintenance and the University Police Department have developed temporary parking locations and safe pedestrian crossings to give students, personnel and visitors entrance to facilities.
