Both lanes of Jordan Avenue between 10th and Seventh streets will be closed from May 20 until June 28 at the latest, according to a City of Bloomington press release.
The closing is part of a program through City of Bloomington Utilities to update water delivery infrastructure, according to the release. More than 75% of Bloomington’s water mains are over 50 years old, and the water main along Jordan Avenue was a priority to be replaced.
The closure will affect campus bus routes A and E, according to a tweet from IU Campus Bus.
Buses will not stop at the School of Education. The A route will divert to North Union Street and will come back to North Jordan Avenue via East Seventh Street.
A detour via Union Street will provide access to nearby buildings such as Herman B Wells Library and Wright Quad, according to the release.
The Wells Library parking lot can be accessed from Seventh Street.
