Nighttime travelers of Franklin Boulevard near the University of Oregon campus will have to use an alternate route starting July 8.

Franklin will be closed overnight between Onyx and Agate streets while crews complete a skybridge, connecting the Knight Campus to the Lewis Integrative Science Building.

"Starting July 8 at 9 p.m. each evening and running until Labor Day, traffic will be reduced to one lane. At 10 p.m. all vehicular lanes will be closed in both directions, reopening to two lanes in each direction at 5 a.m.," according to an announcement on the UO's website.

The EmX bus and emergency vehicles are expected to pass through without being re-routed. The area will be marked with detours down Agate Street, East 18th Avenue, and on Patterson and Hilyard streets.

The skybridge will be 14 feet wide, 190 feet long and weigh 500 tons. It is scheduled to be structurally complete by Labor Day but won't open until the Knight Campus opens in late spring of 2020.

More updates on lane closures and detours can be found on the Knight Campus website.
