Important Construction Update: Temporary Road Closures and Traffic Pattern Changes

UMBC-blvd-hilltop-work-overviewBeginning Tuesday, June 2, and continuing through Sunday, June 7, extensive work on UMBC Blvd. will require us to close sections of the road and Hilltop circle in order to finish paving, painting, and signage. It is strongly recommend the campus community use alternate routes, such as Hilltop Rd., Walker Ave., and Poplar Ave. when entering and exiting campus.

Throughout the week, the outbound lanes of UMBC Blvd. will remain closed. Be advised, you will not be able to use UMBC Blvd. to access I-195. Please follow detour signs to exit campus using Wilkens Ave., Rolling Road, and Shelbourne Rd.

During this phase of the construction, traffic patterns on Hilltop Circle and the new traffic circle will change frequently. Please pay close attention to traffic and detour signs when traveling Hilltop Circle and UMBC Blvd.

Also, note that all permit parking on the inner and outer loop between the stop sign by the Performing Arts & Humanities Building and Administration Dr. will be closed through June 7. Be reminded you that during the summer session all zone A parking areas are accessible to faculty and staff. Please be sure to display your permit hang-tags at all times.

For specific information on traffic patterns, detours, and parking changes, please see our detailed map.

Normal traffic patterns are set to resume on Monday, June 8.
