Transportation options for students will change during the road closure. A temporary transit route from Jennings Hall to Hartman Hall and the Godwin Transit Center will be available from 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM on February 24, and from 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM on February 25.

The combined route will make all stops for both routes, with the exception of stops on University Boulevard and the stop at the intersection of Forest Hill Road and Port Republic Road.

Students are advised to allow extra time to get to their destinations during the closure. For East Campus destinations, walking from Jennings Hall is recommended.
