Eagle Drive construction to begin Sunday, slated to last all summer

UNT commuters who fight their way through highway traffic usually breathe a sigh of relief once they hit the perimeter of campus. Starting Monday, they may have to hold their breath a little longer. The city of Denton is closing lanes temporarily on Eagle Drive for street repairs beginning June 6.

Construction to repair surface deterioration on Eagle Drive will start at North Texas Boulevard and end at Carroll Boulevard. It will take the entire summer to complete the work, but the repairs are expected to be finished before the start of the fall semester if there are no weather delays.  

Although one lane of traffic will remain open in each direction on Eagle Drive, alternate routes suggested by the city are Hickory Street for eastbound traffic and Oak Street for westbound traffic.
