The University of Central Florida will begin two major construction projects later this month. One of these projects will be the expansion of Libra Drive from two-lanes to four-lanes. Additionally, a right turn lane will be added on the intersection of east-bound Gemini Boulevard and Libra Drive.

On top of those improvements, various areas of campus will be undergoing road and sidewalk improvements. The roads that will be affected will be Aquarius drive, the Andromeda Loop, North Orion Boulevard and Greek Court.

Throughout these projects, students should expect periodic road and sidewalk closures. The university said it will be proactive in announcing traffic changes to students ahead of time.

Students should expect the Libra Road project to be complete around March 2016 and the other projects to be complete around October 2016.

While the university was quick to point out in an e-mail to students that improvements will not take place on game days, students should be prepared to take alternative routes during the other time periods of construction.
