Work is scheduled to begin the week of March 6 on the second phase of the Summit Street Improvement project.
-
The second phase will make improvements to Summit Street between Lincoln Street and Fraternity Circle.
-
One-way, one-lane eastbound traffic is scheduled to begin the week of March 6 and will continue through November.
-
The work will be done in sections, which should minimize the disruption of traffic on Summit Street.
-
The work will begin on Summit between Willow and Morris, and will continue through early May. One-way, one-lane traffic will be maintained on that stretch of roadway during that time.
-
Weather or other factors could delay the start of the one-way traffic.
-
Access to buildings and parking lots in the construction area will be maintained and the current PARTA bus routes will not be impacted for the remainder of spring semester.
-
Motorists traveling Summit Street are advised to allow additional time to get to your destination.
-
You can view videos on the detour route and the project improvements at www.kent.edu/summitstreet/resources.
-
The improvements include a second roundabout, a left turn lane from Summit Street to Terrace Drive and the relocation of Campus Center Drive to align with the Student Green.
