Memorial Loop parking set to close as construction begins
Nebraska’s iconic mall leading to Memorial Stadium is getting a facelift.
Work is scheduled to begin on the Memorial Loop Road during the university’s winter break. Starting December 26, Area A parking around the loop will be closed to accommodate construction.
The project, announced in September, is a renovation to upgrade the brick roadway, reconfigure parking, increase pedestrian safety and add sustainability measures. Completion is planned for August 2018.
Project details are available at https://go.unl.edu/2qt3.
Faculty and staff currently parked along the loop can use any other Area A designated surface lot on campus. Parking spaces are generally available in the lot next to the Champions Club, west of Memorial Stadium, and at the Boathouse lot near 16th and X streets.
A map of Area A parking lots on City Campus is available at https://go.unl.edu/8qab.
During construction, access to the reserved Area F03/D01, museum visitor, East Stadium Lab and psychological counseling spaces will be available via the southeast corner of Memorial Loop Road. Vehicular circulation during construction will be one-way, counterclockwise.
Permit holders can also upgrade to permits for garages at 17th and R, 14th and Avery, and Stadium Drive. To convert a permit, contact Parking and Transit Services at 402-472-1800.
