Effective 5/13/13 until further notice, the Richland Avenue Route will be redirected to avoid the closed northbound lane of University Terrace between Clippinger and Gordy Halls. The road is closed due to a sinkhole opened by the collapse of an Ohio University utility tunnel. University crews are working to repair the damage; the project may close the northbound lane for several weeks or more.
A small portion of the outbound route by Clippinger Laboratories and a larger portion of the inbound route will be affected. Inaccessible destinations along the regular route will include Gordy Hall, Scott Quad, Alden Library, Baker University Center, and South Court Street. The redirected route will follow Stewart and Palmer Streets to Stimson Avenue, returning uptown via E State Street and Congress Street. Please download the map at athenstransit.org to see the changes to the route.
The Summit Loop will resume its normal route southbound on University Terrace this afternoon, and will remain unaffected until further notice. Patrons should be on the alert for any emergency changes; this morning’s route was redirected until the street’s structural condition could be established.
