The West Range alleys will be closed at specific times between Oct. 3 and Oct. 12 because of construction. Asphalt walkways will be made, as well as brick cross walks and a retaining wall.
Facilities Management warned in a construction alert that the process will likely be "noisy and odorous." After the paving, the alleys will be closed to install brick crosswalks on both ends, which will be allowed to cure for 36 hours.
Barricades and signs will reroute pedestrian traffic as needed during this time, and alternative parking will be provided for Pavilion residents.
"I think everybody's going to like it," said James Zehmer, historic preservation project manager in the Facilities Planning and Construction Department. "When we started out the sidewalks were six-feet wide. Now it will be eight-feet wide, hurting the banks and causing erosion. The project will control erosion and pedestrian traffic, and will stop all of the Facilities Management trucks from parking on the side."
Colonnade, Patterson and Poe Alleys will each be closed for a few hours Tuesday, Oct. 4.
Mews Alley will be closed from 7 a.m. Monday, Oct. 3 to 7 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, and Patterson Alley will be closed from 7 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4 to 7 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 6. Poe Alley will be closed from 7 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5 to 7 a.m. Friday, Oct. 7, and Colonnade Alley will be closed from 7 a.m. Monday, Oct. 10 to 7 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12.
