The following road closures are expected around the UBC Vancouver campus as of March 17, 2023. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
District Energy System work on University Boulevard west of Wesbrook Mall from April 17–19
The westbound lane on University Boulevard will be closed from April 17 through August 19. Two-way local traffic will be accommodated in the eastbound lane. This work will result in some delays to traffic, so we ask the community to plan ahead. Please refer to the high-level plan of work and detour routes for the first period of work.
Note: while the start date on the plan is April 24, prep work will begin in the week of April 17.
All buses will be detoured out of the University Boulevard Loop from April 17–August 19. During this time, there will be no parking along University Boulevard (parking available in University Boulevard Lot). Deliveries for commercial units have been arranged separately in alignment with waste management requirements. Pedestrian detours will be signed.
