Due to ongoing construction in support of the University of Maryland, Baltimore's (UMB) electrical distribution project, disruptions to pedestrian traffic, vehicular traffic, and parking are expected on Greene Street and Lexington Street this fall:
- Beginning Wednesday, Oct. 23, through Friday, Nov. 8, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, installation of a new manhole in the sidewalk and grass area of Davidge Hall will take place. No parking will be available along the east side of Greene Street. Pedestrian traffic on the east side of Greene Street outside the Dental Museum will also be impacted. This work will create noise from excavation, saw cutting, jack hammering, and core drilling.
- Beginning Monday, Oct. 28, through Friday, Nov. 8, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, installation of a new duct bank on West Lexington Street will reduce street parking on both sides of the street outside of the Lexington Building, and vehicular traffic will be reduced to one-way, with a flagger present to direct vehicles in both directions. Pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Lexington and Pearl streets may also be impacted during this time. This work will create noise from excavation, saw cutting, jack hammering, and core drilling.
- Later this fall, there will be additional work farther west on West Lexington Street and North Arch Street. Stay tuned for further communications regarding these areas.
Please note that these are the expected dates of the impacts, but the exact dates may shift or be extended depending on weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.
The electrical distribution project is helping to provide reliability to help UMB meet today’s demands while also building in additional capacity for future growth. To learn more about this project, visit the Facilities and Operations website. Please note that this project is separate from the University of Maryland Medical Center’s construction of the Roslyn and Leonard Stoler Center for Advanced Medicine, which is resulting in additional sidewalk closures along South Greene Street over the next three years.
