Nez Perce Drive on the University of Idaho campus will be closed for construction from Monday, April 13, through September. The road is fully closed from University House to Walenta Path trail located opposite of the UI water tank. Beginning on April 18, the road closure will extend to Blake Avenue, blocking all street parking for the Greek houses along this segment. The road will remain open to local vehicles.
This project is part of a state-supported alteration and repair project to improve pedestrian safety and upgrade utilities. The project will repair roadway surfaces, widen sidewalks, add raised crosswalks and reconfigure on-street parking to help slow vehicle traffic.
The arboretum and golf course are still accessible from the direction of Perimeter Drive.
