Work on Lakeshore Path to affect bicycle and pedestrian travel

Parking lot 8 behind the Limnology Building and a section of the Howard A. Temin Lakeshore Path will close September 2.

The path south of the Limnology building, near Memorial Union, is being reconstructed to improve safety conditions for cyclists and vehicles.

Cyclists who normally use the parking lot and path south of the Limnology Building should detour around the north side of the building. Please note the detour route will be shared by people on foot and bicycles. Detour signage will be placed around the work site.

The project is expected to last through November, with landscaping scheduled for spring 2026.
