Repaving and safety improvements to occur on Ring Road North starting in mid-May

Starting mid-May through early August, Facilities Management will repave and perform safety upgrades on Ring Road North, from Ellsworth Hall to the Valley 1. This work is part of the University's ongoing commitment to improving campus infrastructure, enhancing roadway safety and ensuring long-term accessibility.

The construction work will include:

• Addition of sidewalk on the east side of Ring Road from the intersection at Central Campus Drive to the Valley 1 intersection.

• Addition of a four-way stop at the Central Campus Drive intersection.

• Removal of the three-way stop at Lot 47.

• Safety improvements to the pedestrian crossing at the Valley Dining Center.

• Safety improvements on the West Michigan roundabout.

• Pedestrian crossing improvements at various other locations.

• Milling and resurfacing of existing pavement.

Central campus Drive will remain open during construction, with intermittent single-lane closures occurring as needed. There will be increased noise levels during daytime hours, along with reduced roadway speed limits for safety.

Please allow extra travel time in this area, follow posted signage and exercise caution near construction zones.
