The first phase of the Connective Corridor project began this week and involves the reconstruction of University Avenue between Waverly Avenue and East Genesee Street.

The previously one-way University will welcome two-way traffic when it reopens, but since that isn’t planned until November, motorists are warned to expect traffic delays and encouraged to find alternative routes.

On-street parking will be prohibited within project limits during construction, though access for residents, to businesses and to parking lots along University Avenue will be maintained.
