- Geist Road and the Johansen Expressway will be open to through-traffic on Wednesday morning, August 15.
- University Avenue north of the Geist/Johansen intersection will be closed to through-traffic between University Avenue and College Road starting Wednesday morning, Aug. 15. Please see the attached map for more information on the new detour routes.
- University Avenue south of the Geist/Johansen intersection will be temporarily restricted to one lane in each direction.
- Pedestrian access will be maintained through the project area following posted detour signs.
- Local and business access will be maintained throughout construction.
The University Avenue construction project will remain active into November. Please use caution when traveling through the work zone.

These improvements will result in fewer crashes at this intersection, which currently has the highest frequency of crashes of any intersection in the Northern region.
