Beginning Monday, March 10 at 7:00am both lanes of Washington Street will be closed to all vehicle traffic between West Campus Drive and Spring Road until approximately May 7. This closure will be 7 days a week and 24 hours a day. More details regarding the closure, to include a map of the site and the detour route, can be found at: www.facilities.vt.edu/steam.asp.
The roundabout will remain open and functional but one of the 3 legs, (Washington Street), will be closed. Spring Road will remain open with traffic allowed to exit only heading east onto Washington Street. Pedestrian traffic will be allowed to use Washington Street but must observe the signs for re-routing of sidewalks due to the steam tunnel construction.
Additional handicap parking will be temporarily installed in the Coliseum Lot to address the spaces lost on Washington Street.
Blacksburg Transit routes, that use Washington Street, will be detoured to an alternate route with alternate bus stops. See the Blacksburg Transit website for more details at: www.btransit.org.
The road will re-open temporarily for significant events on campus such as the Yankee’s baseball game on March 18 and the April 16th Remembrance Events.
The road closure is due to complications from the steam tunnel construction project along Washington Street.
