Drillfield Roads Closing
A portion of the roads at the head of the Drillfield will be closed from
August 3-14.
Utility lines will be placed in this vicinity as part of the construction of
the AC/ITC building. The roads affected by this construction are Drillfield
Drive between Alumni Mall and the intersection just prior to Patton Hall; and
the road which runs from the head of the Drillfield (intersection of Drillfield
Drive and Alumni Mall) towards McBryde Hall.
From August 3-5, Drillfield Drive will be closed, to include all the parking
spaces. Traffic traveling around the Drillfield towards Burruss Hall will
proceed north towards McBryde Hall and take then make an immediate left at the
intersection between McBryde and Patton Halls (normally not allowed).
From August 6-14, the road which runs from the head of the Drillfield
(intersection of Drillfield Drive and Alumni Mall) towards McBryde Hall will be
closed to traffic traveling from the Drillfield towards McBryde Hall. Thus,
traffic at the head of the Drillfield will only be permitted to proceed around
the Drillfield.
The August 6-14 closing will also effect the Blacksburg Transit (BT) routes.
The bus stops that are presently located on the road next to the AC/ITC site
will be temporarily relocated along Drillfield Drive. Additionally, the bus
stops located adjacent to the Military Building on Stanger Street will be
closed during this period. BT customers are encouraged to use the Burruss Hall
bus stop.
All BT changes are temporary and routes will return to normal when the
construction is complete on August 14. The dates are subject to change based
upon inclement weather or construction difficulties.
