Starting Monday, August 10th, Zenith Tech will begin removing the pedestrian bridge over University Avenue between Lake Street and Park Street.
On Monday and Tuesday (August 10 and 11), work will be on the north side of University Avenue, which will involve closing the bus lane.
On Wednesday night (August 12), University Avenue will be closed at Frances Street in order to take down the middle span of the bridge.

There will be no work on Thursday (August 13).
On Friday (August 14), work will involve closing the leftmost lane of University Avenue and the eastbound bike lane. Commuters should expect significant delays during the Friday morning rush hour due to the lane closure.
