This closure is necessary to accommodate a utility crossing to the Menno Hall construction site on the northeast corner of Wesbrook Mall & University Boulevard. Duration of closure will be for a few days. UBC is currently working with the contractor to identify the best dates. Once confirmed, updates will be posted. What to expect during this closure:

• Pedestrians will be detoured. 
• Buses will continue to use Wesbrook Mall through construction. 
• All general purpose traffic will be detoured to use alternative routes such as Chancellor Boulevard.
  
   

This is currently in place. Please obey flaggers and signage and use Lower Mall to move northbound through campus. 

November 2024 Update: Thank you for your patience as work continues around Rec North and the changes to the North Parkade. Work will be ongoing in that area through early 2025. There are no substantial changes to how things are operating today.

There is a lot of construction happening on Student Union Boulevard impacting traffic, pedestrians and cyclists. This will continue through the rest of this term. Delays should be expected, so please plan ahead.

All efforts are being made to maintain pedestrian routes during construction. However, in the next few months pedestrians will need to be detoured to either Walter Gage Road or south of UBC Life Building to allow for paving to take place along the south side of the North Parkade. More details to come once dates are known.

Please obey and be respectful of flaggers who have been doing a great job keeping everyone moving as best as possible during this challenging construction project.

Development on the corner of Wesbrook Mall and Binning Avenue will have some impact on roads and traffic (see Development Projects page for project details:

• Binning Avenue east of Wesbrook Mall is currently closed to the general public. 
• The sidewalk along the east side of Wesbrook Mall along the length of the construction site and the contractor parking will be intermittently closed for safety during construction activity. Pedestrians will be detoured to the sidewalk along the west side of Wesbrook Mall during this time. 
• Parking along the east side of Wesbrook Mall will be intermittently closed to accommodate construction needs throughout construction.
• Nearly all construction related traffic are to arrive and depart the site to the south to reduce impacts on the community.

Construction on Lot 6, future home of Wordsworth, at the corner of Ross Drive and Birney Avenue will begin in June 2023 and is expected to be completed in Fall 2025. Visit the traffic management page for an overview of the traffic control that will be in place during construction to minimize impacts to the neighbourhood.

An expansion to the Beaty Biodiversity Centre is current underway and will result in some road closures that are typically used by pedestrians, cyclists and service vehicles (see map above). Visit the project page to learn more about the addition.
