SUBJECT: CIC Drive Closure 11/4 & 11/6

 

CIC Drive will be closed this weekend starting on Friday, 11/4, at 6PM through Sunday, 11/6.  The drive will be reopened before 6AM Monday morning (11/7).  This will be the second of four road closures at the CIC between now at the end of the year.  See the attached plan for the extent of the closure. The closures are required for crane lifts that will replace HVAC units on the roof of the CIC building.  This second crane lift will be to lift the new HVAC onto the roof.

 

Starting Friday evening at 6 PM Forbes Avenue will be briefly closed to back the crane assembly onto CIC drive.  Please do not park on CIC Drive after 5 PM or your vehicle will be blocked in.  Notice signs will be posted as a reminder.  The crane will take approximately 8 hours to set up on Friday night into early Saturday morning.  The crane lift work will occur starting at 6AM Saturday morning, and the crane will be disassembled starting Saturday evening.  Sunday is used as a contingency plan in case of poor weather conditions.

 

During the crane lift on Saturday, the 3rd and 4th floors of the CIC building will be closed to occupants and tenants.  Floors LL through 2 can still be utilized if necessary.  The CIC parking garage will remain open.  Access to the building during the closure will be through the garage or through the FMS plaza.
