Crews begin Sunset Avenue reconstruction

Construction crews have begun the work of converting Sunset Avenue to a pedestrian corridor from Wyandotte Street to University Avenue.

Already, workers have blocked this stretch to vehicular traffic and roughed in the outline of a cul-de-sac at the north end of Chrysler Hall, which will serve as a pick-up and drop-off area. Contractors project completion of this stage by the end of the month, weather permitting.

The rest of the surface reconstruction will proceed in stages. See a map outlining the stages of the project, including construction timelines, on the Campus Master Plan website. Direct any questions or concerns to https://fluidsurveys.uwindsor.ca/s/sunset-ave/.
