CONSTRUCTION ALERT – Central Utilities Plant Expansion, Chiller Plant Addition: Lane Closure Gilman Drive

Project Purpose:
As part of a central utilities plant expansion, a new chiller plant is being constructed to provide additional efficient, water-based cooling capacity throughout the campus. The chiller plant is powered by carbon-free electric power and will include two chillers, two cooling towers, associated pumps, piping and all required electrical distribution systems.

Utility lines will be inspected while connecting a new storm drain line to a storm drain trench south of South Parking Structure. The work includes cutting into existing asphalt, exploring the depth of the existing gas line and paving when the work is complete.

Location and Duration:
The work will start on the northbound lane of Gilman Drive on Monday, Oct. 10, 2022 and continue through Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022 with work hours from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Immediate Impacts:
During this work, the northbound lane of Gilman Drive will be closed, but one lane will remain open at all times with flaggers to direct traffic. Please follow
signage and allow extra time while traveling on Gilman Drive. Access to South Parking Structure and the pedestrian path on the west side of Gilman Drive will be maintained.

Please observe all temporary traffic controls and crewmember instructions. Please reduce speeds and allow extra space when traveling adjacent to construction activity.
