Traffic signage and traffic channelizing devices will direct vehicular traffic during work activities. Flagmen will also be present to direct vehicular traffic during unloading and
loading.
Lane reductions and closures will be minimized as much as possible. All lane impacts will
be fully opened at the end of each day.
There will be typical construction equipment noise associated with this work.
Dates are subject to weather impacts and other unforeseen conditions. This construction
alert will be revised accordingly.
All means of egress from adjacent buildings will be maintained during construction.
Milling and paving operations will take place on Alderman Road between McCormick Road
and Whitehead Road starting Monday, July 28 through Wednesday, July 30 weather

The McIntire Cobb/Shumway project will be milling, paving, and striping during the overnight hours starting the evening of Sunday, July 20. The work will continue every night until complete on or about Wednesday, July 23. The work will be performed in coordination with the City of Charlottesville. Work in JPA will be performed from the new drive apron at Breeden Way to the Brandon Avenue intersection to tie-in the new drive aprons and curbing. The final top coat will also be installed at the new Shumway Hall loading dock. The traffic lanes of Jefferson Park Avenue will be impacted and traffic controls will be in place to accommodate two-way traffic at all times. Flaggers will manage conflicts between construction equipment, pedestrians, and vehicular traffic.
Timeline: Sunday, July 20 - Wednesday, July 23 9:00 pm- 5:00 am: Work in the JPA traffic lanes. Two-way traffic will be maintained. Pedestrian traffic will need to obey flaggers and temporary detour signage.
Impacts to Jefferson Park Avenue (JPA) traffic will be limited as much as possible. Flaggers will be staged at each end of the project site.
Any incoming ambulances or other emergency vehicles will be given priority over these project-related operations.
No impact to existing building exits and sidewalks.

Project scope is to decommission the solar panels on Ridley Hall (and the bookstore later). Both systems were part of “roof lease” program since 2015 but have not been functional for some time.
Dominion Energy's contractors - Sun Tribe Solar, Optimum Electric will be performing the decommissioning of the modules and the system.
It is the intent to have Ridley Hall removal completed before the fall semester begins.
From June 2, 2025 through August 15, 2025 Colonnade Alley will be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In case of emergency, Colonnade Club occupants can egress into the parking court. Access to the Women's Restroom will be maintained.

L-Parking Permits will be honored throughout any Alley L-Lot throughout the summer to accommodate the temporary parking space removal. The Colonnade Club will work with guests directly on special parking needs.
Emergency vehicle access will be maintained by the contractor in case of emergency. This approach has been reviewed by the Fire Marshall.
Scaffolding will be constructed around the Pavilion I columns on June 3rd.
