Douglas Roadbetween Juniper and Ivy Roads along the north edge of the University of Notre Dame campus will be closed from March 6 (Monday) to early May.

Motorists who regularly drive to the campus from the east onDouglasare advised to useCleveland Roadto Juniper on the north andEdison Roadto Eddy on the south.

A portion ofBulla Roadto the east of the campus and a portion ofIvy Roadimmediately north ofVaness Streetalso will be closed during the March to May time frame.

The roads will be closed to allow for the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Douglas and Ivy and the completion of the expansion ofDouglas. Work also will be completed onNorth Twyckenham Drive, a new four-lane north-south road on the eastern side of the Notre Dame campus.

When completed in May, the extension of Twyckenham from Edison toDouglasand on to Juniper is expected to improve the travel times of commuters driving in every direction near Notre Dame.

Construction on another section of Douglas and onSt. Josephs Drive will necessitate additional closures in May. More information will be available at the time.

All of the construction work is leading to the closure in August of the section ofJuniper Roadthat bisects the Notre Dame campus. A three-year negotiation process among the University, area government officials and the general public led to a vote in June 2004 by the St. Joseph County Council to close Juniper through campus and realign part of Angela Boulevard. As a part of the negotiations, the University agreed to build a new north-south roadway on the eastern edge of the campus.
