Pedestrian Underpass Opened!

The Pedestrian Underpass is now open! Crews will continue to finish minor connecting routes, an expansion to lot H, and final landscaping.

Project Summary

The pedestrian underpass project includes replacement of an existing tunnel under US HWY 63 and construction of a new, larger underpass in its place. As a priority to the S&T Campus Master Plan, this new underpass will include new sidewalks, landscaping, lighting, and a new, below-grade pedestrian crossing that will create a safer, more intuitive crossing point for pedestrians needing to cross HWY 63. The new pedestrian crossing will be a three-sided structure that is taller, wider, brighter, and a shorter distance to cross than the existing path. This will provide a safer and more pleasant crossing than the existing tunnel.

Construction will occur August 2023 to August 2024. The first phase of construction will take place on the west side of the Hwy 63. Construction on the east side of Hwy 63 will begin January 2024, and the final phase to install the underpass will begin March 2024.
