Loosening up... ■ Construction B eat Road construction blocks Cl lot access at Edison, Ivy Roads By BILL U N IO W S K I Assistant News Editor

The Indiana Department of Transportation will close Edison and Ivy Roads at the intersection which includes the Linebacker Lounge, the Jamison Inn and Domino’s Pizza, as a result of the ongoing State Road 23 construction project. “Students, faculty and staff who use these roads to access the C1 parking lot will have to divert onto other alternatives,” said Phil Johnson, assistant director of Notre Dame Security/Police. The closing is scheduled to take effect tomorrow, weather permitting, and will continue until the end of the summer. Drivers who normally take Ivy to Edison Road or State Road 23 to Edison will find the routes unavailable. Alternate routes include taking Eddy to Juniper, Eddy to Edison or Bulla to Juniper. The entire State Road 23 project from Ironwood to Twyckenham will continue to cause delays. The Observer/John Daily
