The Starvine Way bridge (Clairmont Campus to Atlanta Campus) will be closed for maintenance over several upcoming weekends. Scheduled closures are set for July 19–20 and July 26–27, with Aug. 2–3 reserved as a backup weekend if needed. Each closure will begin at 5 a.m. Saturday and end at 4:30 a.m. Monday. During this time, the bridge will be fully closed to all vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists — no access will be permitted. Shuttle service to and from the Clairmont Campus will remain operational but will follow a detoured route. Pedestrian access to the Lullwater Trails from Clairmont Campus will continue to be available via Starvine Way, south of the bridge closure. Construction to repair a stormwater pipe at Woodruff Circle is expected to continue through Friday, Aug. 15. Learn how the project will impact vehicle and pedestrian routes in the area so you can plan accordingly. |
