<h2>Thurston Avenue Bridge to Reopen Thursday Evening August 16, 2007</h2>

<p>The Thurston Avenue Bridge, linking North Campus with Central Campus, will reopen Thursday evening in time for Orientation Weekend, August 17-19. The bridge will remain open for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Those portions of East Avenue, University Avenue, and Forest Home that were closed for the project will reopen as well.</p>

<p>There are remaining tasks to complete this fall. Vehicular traffic may be reduced to one lane with flaggers and one of the pedestrian walkways may be closed during work hours. </p>

<p>The project end date is October 31, 2007. </p>

<p>This is a City of Ithaca project.</p>

<p>I just got back from Ithaca.</p>

<p>The bridge was open but it was obvious that more work needs to be done.</p>

<p>I cannot even imagine how difficult the traffic situation would have been during move-in day if that bridge had been closed.</p>

<p>i hear it's closing again to finish the details...</p>
