I-15 lane closures (and other projects)

September 14, 2012 by UVU Blog

Greetings, UVUers!

We are so very close to the end of the I-15 CORE project, but there is still work to be done. Here are the areas that you’ll need to look out for (especially the lane restrictions on the first one). Good luck!

- Southbound I-15 lane reduction: As early as the night of Sept.16, for approximately two weeks, southbound I-15 is scheduled to be reduced to three lanes from 200 South in Lindon to University Parkway in Orem for paving. Motorists using I-15 should anticipate heavy travel delays during the rush hours. To reduce delays, drivers can use local roads such as Geneva Road and State Street as alternate routes.

- 1600 North full interchange closure: Through Sept. 19, all on- and off-ramps at the 1600 North interchange are closed and 1600 North from Geneva Road to approximately 1200 West is closed to all through traffic for signal work, paving and final striping. Access to area businesses will be maintained. Drivers can use the 800 North interchange as an alternate route. Closure

- As early as Sept. 20, the north side of the interchange (northbound on- and southbound off-ramps) and 1600 North are scheduled to reopen to traffic. The south half of the interchange (southbound off- and northbound on-ramps) is scheduled to remain closed for an additional 15 days to finish paving work at the ramps.

- Orem Center Street nightly closures: Through Saturday, Sept. 15, Orem Center Street under I-15 is scheduled to close nightly from 10 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. for bridge painting. All on- and off-ramps will remain open, but drivers will need to use 1200 West or Geneva Road to 400 North or 400 South for east-west travel.

 


Stair project at BA building

September 7, 2012 by UVU Blog

Construction on stairs at the Browning Administration building is set to begin Sept. 10. Unfortunately, the staging area for this project will necessitate the relocation of a few parking stalls in parking Lot L1, namely an ADA stall closest to the building and a few stalls to the west (Wolverine spots). This project will last at most 30 days. Thanks for your patience!


Water shut-down in PE Building

  • Alternative Transportation Tips

    Though we can certainly alleviate congestion by parking in the right places at the right times (see our Parking Tips section), you may be better off avoiding parking altogether. Have you considered:

    • Riding the bus?

      UVU students, faculty and staff are eligible for $50/year UTA bus passes. A gallon of gas is averaging more than $3.50 in Utah these days — that $50 is probably worth looking into, even if it's just for a day or two each week. Your UV ID card, which you can activate at Campus Connection, functions as your bus pass, and is valid on all UTA buses, express buses, TRAX and Frontrunner. For more details, visit Campus Connection.

    • Biking? Skateboarding? Rollerblading?

      When have you ever seen bikers circling bike racks, waiting for somebody to pull out so they can zip in and take their spot? That game stays in the parking lots (and I really doubt you'll miss it). There are bike racks all over campus; keep an eye out for those closest to your building and give your car a break. But remember: bikes, skateboards and rollerblades are allowed on sidewalks, but aren't permitted on plazas, rails or concourses.

    • Carpooling?

      You'll save on gas. You get to use the HOV lane on I-15. You'll have an automatic support group that commits you to getting to class (or work) on time. There's a lot to like about the carpool.

    • Walking?

      If you happen to live close enough to campus, take the opportunity to stretch your legs. And if you don't — have you ever looked at the outer rows of parking stalls in the lots at the northwest end of campus? They're often totally empty. Why not make a conscious decision to park out there and then count your walk to campus as exercise? It might take you a few extra minutes, but as long as you budget that into your travel time, it will be extra minutes well spent. Your heart (and UVU Facilities) will thank you.
