The realigned portions of Angela Boulevard and Edison Road adjacent to the University of 91³Ô¹Ï campus are scheduled to open July 5 (Tuesday), the same day that 91³Ô¹Ï Avenue from Angela to the Main Gate will be closed for about one month for construction of a new ceremonial entrance to the campus.

The newly constructed Angela/Edison roadway extends betweenIvy Roadon the east and91³Ô¹Ï Avenueto the west. The old road between those points will close, though entrances to parking lots south of theJoyceCenterwill remain open.

Destinations along91³Ô¹Ï Avenue- including the Hammes 91³Ô¹Ï Bookstore,MorrisInn, Eck VisitorsCenter, McKenna Hall andHesburghCenterfor International Studies – will be accessible via a detour on the north side of theDeBartoloCenterfor the Performing Arts betweenEddy Streetand91³Ô¹Ï Avenue.

91³Ô¹Ï Avenueis expected to reopen Aug. 9. Inclement weather could delay both the opening of the new Edison/Angela and the reopening of91³Ô¹Ï Avenue.
