Street Closure to Halt Access to UW 14th Street Parking Lot Starting Thursday

Access to the University of Wyoming parking lot along 14th Street between Grand and Ivinson avenues -- known as the Cooper or Brown 107 lot -- will be closed for about two and a half weeks starting Thursday, June 11.

The closure is necessitated by a city of Laramie waterline project that requires closing 14th Street between Ivinson and Grand.

“We evaluated whether access to the parking lot could be maintained; however, due to the location of the waterline, the depth and width of the trench and the work on Ivinson, we are not able to maintain access,” City Engineer Ridge Leinen says.

People who use the 14th Street parking lot are encouraged to use UW’s Ivinson Parking Garage during the closure. Individuals needing assistance with Americans with Disabilities Act access are encouraged to reach out to UW Transportation Services to discuss their options by calling (307) 766-9800 or emailing tps@uwyo.edu.

The closure of that section of 14th Street is connected with street and utility work-related closures of 15th Street between Grand and Ivinson, expected to last through July, and of Ivinson between Eighth and 15th streets, scheduled to last until mid-October.
