So University Avenue is going to be closed for a couple months (so they say) so they can drop the road 5 feet for a flat intersection with 3rd street.

The construction started yesterday, so today I walked down to see what has happened so far.

The placement of this sign is apparently to ensure the maximum number of cars ignoring it.

And having to turn around here.

You didn’t think I was going to obey that sign, did you?

This is, I am guessing, the section of road that will be dropped 5 feet.Yes, it is already relatively steep. No, I don’t know what they were thinking.

I am not at ALL sad to see this building go.

Current state of the intersection. I presume nothing is going to happen until that house is down.

3rd Street

Beverley. Weirdly, there is a hole in the ground here, behind that pile of gravel.

That’s just me being easily amused.

My supposition is that this is where the re-grading will start.

There you go! The current state of the University Avenue construction project!
