The second phase of the Pit Sidewalk Improvements project begins Monday, May 15, 2017, and is expected to be completed Aug. 18, 2017.
The Pit Sidewalk Improvements project includes the repair and renovation of paving and infrastructure in and around the Pit, and is being implemented in three phases to reduce the impact on students and activities in this area of campus. Phase two will be completed this summer and will be restricted to the area between the Undergraduate Library and Greenlaw and Bingham Halls.
Phase two improvements will include the replacement of brick pavers, upgrades to stormwater management and new landscaping. New stone walls and seating areas will be installed around the Undergraduate Library, and the steps to Greenlaw will be renovated to include bicycle push ramps. New shade trees will be planted within a modular soil system that will allow for the harvest of rainwater and will improve stormwater runoff.
Pedestrian access through this area will be maintained throughout the project. Pedestrians should remain alert and follow signage indicating pedestrian reroutes.
For questions regarding the nature and status of this project, please contact Greg Graves, Construction Manager, at ggraves@fac.unc.edu.
