The construction will continue until mid-November.

From the Main Street crosswalk, a temporary sidewalk leads to Sunset. Students with disabilities may proceed on the street between the Student Center and Young Hall to College Circle, then to the sidewalk beside Main Street to the crosswalk.

Meanwhile, to benefit motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic, Sunset Drive has been extended to Highway 9. The HNS Building and a new Physical Plant and Materials Management building, to be completed in September, are both located on the street.
