  • The Chronicle
    WEEKLY SUMMER EDITION Thursday June 6, 1985 Volume SOB. Number 5 Duke University Durham,"North Carolina THE CHRONICLE Hanes crossing finished by fall By PAUL GAFFNEY State, city and University officials predict the road construction at the corner of Erwin Road and Trent Drive will be nearly complete by the time North Campus resi­ dents arrive in August. Erwin Road will be widened to four lanes from its inter­ section with the East-West Expressway to Duke Hospital North. The intersection with Trent Drive - the location of Trent Drive Dormitory, Hanes House and Hanes Annex Dormitory - is between these twb points. The widened road means Hanes Annex residents - 103 freshmen and resident advisors - must cross four lanes instead of two to walk to the bus stop or West Campus. But there are no immediate plans to abandon Hanes Annex as an undergraduate dormitory. "Hopefully, we will be at an advanced stage of construc­ tion at Trent Drive and Erwin Road by mid-August," said Bobby Downs, resident engineer for the Erwin Road project. The widened road will not adversely affect Hanes Annex, Downs said. "I wouldn't see any problem with the dorm. The speed limit is 35 m.p.h." he said, though he added the situation is "not the most advantageous." The University is examining the future of Hanes Annex See NORTH on page 4 Weather Barney Jones to preach in Chapel It's not the heat . .: And its not the humidity, either.
