Germantown Ave. Update - 9/26

Construction on Germantown Avenue will be impacting access to the LTSP campus through fall; for the latest updates be sure to check Ltsp.edu/germantownave before you come to campus, watch your email if you are an LTSP student or a member of the faculty or staff, or sign up for email notifications from this blog.

Here's what is projected through October 2:

Germantown Ave., Main Entrance, Brossman and Wiedemann Lot access:
Construction is occurring directly in front of campus from Gowen Avenue south along the entire campus frontage. Temporary roadway is expected to be installed by Thursday, 10/1, and construction will proceed behind barricades with provision for traffic to pass. Be prepared for temporary closures and stoppages as the work progresses through the fall.

Of special note: Germantown Avenue is barricaded northbound at Mt. Airy Avenue, though the flagger at the barricade will allow passage to the new campus entrance on the south side of the chapel at the new plaza. Use caution when you enter and proceed to the Brossman parking lot. Note there is an orange directional sign at this entrance. THIS DRIVEWAY IS TEMPORARILY 2-WAY - drive slowly and cautiously both when entering and leaving campus, the drive is only wide enough for one vehicle to pass. The main campus entrance on Germantown Avenue is temporarily closed.

Allens Lane is closed at Germantown Avenue. A detour is posted - see Ltsp.edu/germantownave for other routes to campus from the west. Note that the Wawa entrance/exit to Germantown Avenue is also closed, so you can't cut through the Wawa lot to get to the new south entrance on Germantown.

Gowen Avenue:
Gowen is now open through from east to west side of Germantown Avenue, and you can turn north on Germantown Avenue, but not south. If you do come this way to get to the Germantown Avenue entrances to campus, you will need to continue through the intersection, then continue through side street until you can turn left at a street past Allens Lane. Best to park in the Reed lot.

Our business neighbors continue to suffer from the construction project. Consider ways you can patronize them and help keep the neighborhood vital. See savetheave.org for more information.
