I rode the eastbound bike lane yesterday without foreknowledge of the closing -
if it was on this site I missed it. Did not see good detour signage. Glad to
hear it's almost done.

{}-->The project to demolish the pedestrian bridge over University Ave between
Vilas and Humanities, which was supposed to be finished today, will continue
through at least Monday 8/17/15. (Actually, this is another one of those
projects that was delayed months while the state budget was being deliberated,
but that’s another rant). There will not be any pedestrian (or eastbound
bicycle) access on the south side of University Ave in the 800 block (by Vilas
Hall). The sidewalk on the north side of University Ave remains open,
thankfully, since the Langdon St closure already means fewer ways for bikes and
peds to get from Park St to Lake St right now. Please be careful out there.

Subject: 14H2Z: Univ Ave Bridge: Schedule REVISED SCHEDULE ON THE PED
BRIDGE REMOVAL The last remaining section of bridge was scheduled for
removal today but the contractor has changed that work to Monday 8/17. The
final section of bridge is attached to Vilas Hall so the contractor wants to
make additional provisions for protecting the building during the demolition
which requires them to bring in different equipment and take more time to stage
it. They didn’t have enough time yesterday to get the additional equipment on
site so they needed to move the work to Monday. The contractor will begin
at 7 am Monday morning using a robotic pneumatic breaker on the bridge deck to
separate the bridge from the Vilas Hall supporting wall. Then at 9 am they
will bring in a crane and remove the bridge deck - mostly intact - and lower it
to the ground. Then the deck will be broken apart on the ground and hauled
away. The noisiest work will likely be finished by early afternoon. All
traffic lanes will be opened on University Ave thru the weekend. The south
sidewalk and bike lanes will be closed thru the weekend as equipment & rubble
are still taking up this area. The contractor will be working on restoring
turf and sidewalk starting next Tuesday. I apologize for any problems this
change creates to you work. Civil & Env. Engineer UW-Madison, FP&M, CP&D
