Administration Dr. Closed on Both Sides of Bell Ave.

Jan. 7, 2025 — DENTON — As everyone returns to campus next week, students should be aware of construction along Bell Ave. and Administration Dr. that will challenge access to portions of the east side of campus.

As part of the Brackenridge Hall (BH) construction project, Administration Dr. was closed on both sides of Bell Ave. beginning Monday, December 16, 2024. Access is scheduled to remain closed through March 10, 2025 (Spring Break). 

Bell Ave. traffic will not stop at Administration Dr. during this period, and the traffic signals will be temporarily removed. 

There will be no crosswalks available at Administration Dr., as the street and sidewalks will be demolished.  All pedestrian traffic will be directed around the work area to the Pioneer Hall (PH) crossing or at the Multipurpose Classroom Laboratory (MCL) crossing.

Please be aware that the Jones parking lot and Parliament Village cannot be accessed via Bell Ave. and Administration Dr. In order to access the Jones parking lot, motorists will need to navigate around the Facilities Management Center. The most direct path (illustrated below) is Bell Ave. to College St. to Frame St., but other alternatives through residential areas and off of Mingo Rd. are also available. Coordinates for the Jones parking lot are 33.22646° N, 97.12503° W

Shuttle services will resume from the North Loop Parking Lot on January 13 where ample parking is available.
