Main Library – North Entrance Reroute

Oct 23, 2026 | 3:37 pm 

A short-term closure of sidewalk and steps in front of the Main Library's north entrance will require a short pedestrian reroute.

Urgent repairs to a sanitary sewer line will cause pedestrian reroutes for the Main Library’s north entrance beginning Monday, October 26. The work is expected to last one week, weather permitting.

A portion of the sidewalk and the steps in that location will be closed, so pedestrians must use a nearby pathway section to the east as the temporary access point to return to the north entrance. Information about the building’s accessible entries, access routes, and parking information is available on the Facility Access Maps website.

For university-related transportation questions, contact Transportation Systems Manager Stacey DeLorenzo, 217-300-1750. View more active campus street, sidewalk, and pathway closures on the F&S website.
