STEPHENVILLE (November 2, 2016) — Primary pedestrian traffic routes along Vanderbilt Street within the Tarleton State University campus will change for the next four to six weeks as construction on the utility and infrastructure project progresses westward.
Three primary intersections will close during this time at the following locations:
• Neblett Avenue and Vanderbilt Street;
• Vanderbilt Street at the Barry B. Thompson Student Center; and
• Cain and Jones streets
Detour signage will be placed at these locations to direct pedestrian traffic as follows:
• Those entering campus from the northeast (near Bosque Crossing Apartments), please follow Jones Street west past Cain Street to the Dining Hall and Thompson Student Center.
• Those entering campus from the east, please follow McIlhaney Street south to Heritage Park.
The temporary street closures are part of a multi-phase, $25 million project to expand pedestrian walkways along Lillian, Vanderbilt and other campus core streets. At the same time, utility improvements will eliminate flooding and storm water drainage issues and enhance campus lighting.
Scheduled for completion in November 2017, the project will bring new beauty and aesthetics to the Tarleton campus, and improve safety for pedestrians within the campus core.
