Museum Road Partially Closed, Expect Traffic Detours and Delays

Dear campus community,

A portion of Museum Road, between Gale Lemerand and Reitz Union drives, remains closed after a reclaimed water pipe ruptured on Friday.

While UF Facilities Services staff worked diligently through the weekend to repair the rupture, additional work is still necessary before the road can be reopened. 

This road closure does not affect traffic on Gale Lemerand Drive or other campus roads. However, a number of Gainesville Regional Transit Service (RTS) bus routes are being detoured. Please visit the RTS website to learn which busses are facing route disruptions. Additionally, access to the Welcome Center Garage is restricted to westbound traffic on Museum Road. 

These traffic diversions will cause traffic delays, especially when the vehicle-restricted zones are in effect from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Please plan accordingly when traveling on campus.

We will notify the campus community when the repairs are completed, and Museum Road reopens.  Sincerely,

Brandi Renton
Interim Vice President for Business Affairs
