Union Street will be reduced to alternating single lane traffic between University Avenue and 5th Field Company Lane on Wednesday, June 5 and Thursday, June 6, as contractor crews work to complete permanent electrical utility connections to the renovated John Deutsch University Centre (JDUC).

Lane reductions will be in place each morning and remain until 5:30 p.m. daily. Safety crews will be in place to direct traffic throughout the reduction periods. The sidewalk along the south side of Union Street outside of Douglas Library will also be closed during this utility work. University Avenue north of Union Street remains completely closed to traffic north to Earl Street and will re-open when the project is complete. People transiting the area should anticipate delays and additional travel time.

The renovated JDUC will re-open later this summer. The new JDUC improves accessibility, and will house student government offices, dedicated graduate student space, accommodation for more than 100 student clubs, 6,000 square feet of new public study spaces, secure and discreet wellness spaces, a larger pub with a patio, an expanded Common Ground Coffee House and Tricolour Outlet.
