Passengers will be diverted past Sanger Hall to a temporary stop on E. Clay Street, located directly across from the Valentine History Museum (towards 11th Street). Travel routes returning to the parking lots may be altered, but all other stops will be serviced.

The I Lot route will not be impacted; however, passengers may experience extended commute times, particularly around the McGuire Hall bus stop.
