Work on the first new wider pedestrian crossing on University Avenue reached a key milestone this weekend, with the traffic restrictions in place outside the main gate switching lanes.

This means that the traffic will now run on the westbound carriageway, closest to the Main Gate. The operation of the traffic management will remain the same.

Access and egress from Hillhead Street will be maintained for traffic and pedestrians over this period, however the University's Main Gate will remain closed until completion.

The new crossing, which has pedestrian-priority traffic signals, is on course to be operational in late September.
