Construction Junction – One Way Traffic Ahead

Beginning at 4 p.m., Friday, Sept. 16, the one-block section of Vermont Street between University Boulevard and Patterson Drive will become a one-way street during construction of the IUPUI Campus Center.

Construction plans call for the closure of the north two lanes of Vermont Street from University Boulevard to Patterson for a two-year period. During that time the remaining open lane will be for westbound traffic only.
