College Avenue Detours, Parking Restrictions Due to UMW Campus Center Construction
UMW Campus Center utility work is scheduled September 16 through October 11.
Work to connect existing utilities (water, sewer, and natural gas) along College Avenue to the University of Mary Washington's new Campus Center will effect traffic near the construction site September 16 - October 11, 2013.
Two addresses along College Avenue will have their driveways blocked for short periods, UMW said.
- The private residence at 1512 College Ave. will be fully blocked for three days beginning September 16.
- The Catholic Student Center, 1614 College Ave., will be partially blocked for three days beginning September 30.
Southbound traffic (depicted by the yellow line on the attached map) toward William Street will be detoured at Rowe Street to Augustine Avenue and back to College Avenue at Payne Street.
Northbound traffic (depicted by the blue line) toward Route 1 will remain on College Avenue.
The intersection of Parcell Street and College Avenue will be closed for the duration of the in-street work, with resident access from Augustine Avenue.
After the utility work is completed on October 11, traffic will resume the customary pattern.
“No Parking” will continue on the UMW side of College Ave. along the construction site until July 2015. Parking on the other side of College Ave. will experience occasional limitation.
"The University appreciates your understanding during this inconvenience," UMW said in a press release.
