NIGHT WORK 9:00 pm — 5:00 am Tuesday, April 29, through May 2025
The intersection will be modified due to the duct bank installation.
Both eastbound and westbound on Ivy will be open but modified, and both northbound
and southbound on Alderman Rd. and Copeley Rd. will be open but modified.
The McCormick Road Chapel Triangle Improvements project construction will begin on May 19th, 2025, and is anticipated to be completed on July 18th, 2025.
Construction will require a Roadway Closure to all through traffic, except for Emergency Vehicles. Adjacent roadway to the south will accommodate UVA FM and other University and Special Events Vehicles as required.
Vehicular Detour, and Alternate Pedestrian Paths, as well as Relocated ADA Parking Spaces will be provided. Additionally, the Garrett Trolly stop will be offline and the McCormick Trolly stop will be relocated to University Avenue near the Rotunda for the duration on construction.
In support of the Fontaine Research Park Parking Garage Project, the contractor will close
the section of sidewalk, stair and ramp located on the north side of 415 Ray C Hunt on
Monday, April 28, 2025, because the scheduled stormwater utility installation is in close
proximity to the existing sidewalk.
Pedestrians will use the temporary pedestrian pathway to traverse the Fontaine Research
Park.
UVA wayfinding signage will be installed to help users navigate the Fontaine Research
Park.
There will be typical construction equipment noise associated with this work including the
use of a hydraulic rock hammer to excavate rock for the installation of the stormwater
utilities.
All building means of egress will be maintained during construction.
The morning of Friday May 2nd eight parking spaces in front of the east side of 515
Ray C Hunt will be closed until approximately 12 pm to make room for a 550-ton crane
and support tractor trailers to maneuver into the FCEP jobsite.
Friday May 2nd all parking in the spine road traffic circle (contractor/construction
parking) will have to be vacated by 12 pm. The two oversized tractor trailers will
arrive to the park in the afternoon. As each tractor trailer makes their way into the
entrance of the park, traffic will be shifted and will be stopped at times until the tractor
trailers make their way to the entrance of Spine Road into the traffic circle area. State
Police will be on site to assist with traffic control at the Fontaine Avenue/Research Park
entrance stop light. The trucks/equipment will remain staged in this area overnight until
they are ready for install the following morning.
Friday evening at the end of the day an entire row of parking spaces that spans from
560 Ray C Hunt to 500 will be closed and will remain closed until the following
evening of Saturday May 3rd.
Saturday May 3rd the two oversized tractor trailers carrying the generator and
enclosure will back out of the spine road traffic circle area and make their way to FCEP
jobsite. The crane will unload the trucks and set the equipment into place. All parking
will be reopened before the end of the day.
Due to rock within the building footprint, blasting will be needed to allow rock removal and excavation to continue.
A blasting event is planned to occur at approximately 11:00 am each day Monday to Friday starting 14 April for approximately four to six weeks. A blasting event may not occur on some days due to activities in the area or site needs.
During this time, traffic and pedestrians will need to be stopped near the project site for approximately 5 to 7 minutes along Copeley and Massie Roads at the locations indicated below.
Construction personnel will be on site to monitor the area during this time. Please follow their directions.
No impact to existing building exits and sidewalks.
