Campus

Redondo Road South will be closed to through traffic between Martin Luther King Drive and Yale Boulevard July 29 through August 18.
The closure, which is for repaving and resurfacing, will only have a minor affect on bus shuttles servicing that area of south campus said Clovis Acosta, director of parking and transportation services.
Pick up service for shuttles outside of Hodgin Hall will move to the Yale stop while Redondo is closed. Regular pick up service at the Yale stop will continue through the closure.
Access to parking lots along Redondo Road will still be available, but through access from MLK to Yale will be closed during the resurfacing.
