Construction to close JPA Saturday

Jefferson Park Avenue will temporarily close Saturday as construction workers build a terrace that will eventually connect the developing South Lawn Project with New Cabell Hall and the Lawn.
“To minimize the effect on traffic, the work on creating the foundation for the terrace will be done primarily at night,” University spokesperson Carol Wood said.
Wood noted that the terrace construction will start at 3 a.m. and end between the hours of 7 and 9 a.m. Traffic will come to a complete stop in both directions while each of the 13 beams composing the foundation are put into place, she said, estimating that each beam will take about 7 minutes to install.
