Campus Construction Projects

Published: August 13, 2025 | Read Time: 2 minutes

As we get ready for the fall semester, we want to share updated information about several ongoing road and construction projects, so you can navigate campus safely and smoothly.

One project to be especially aware of is the UDOT Roundabout Project at University Blvd & 1150 West. This major intersection on the west end of campus is fully closed to vehicle traffic and will remain under construction until late October 2025. Pedestrians can still access campus in this area using the overpass and designated walking routes on 1150 West and Thunderbird Way/200 South.

See the vehicle and pedestrian maps for details.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to make improvements around campus.

Pedestrian Detour: Foot traffic is to avoid the direct intersection of University Blvd and 1150 West and use temporary access setup further south to cross 1150 West.
