The City of Morgantown and Morgantown Utility Board will begin projects on North High Street beginning May 6, coinciding with the end of the University’s spring semester.
During Phase 1, North High Street between Maiden Lane and Prospect Street will be closed to replace a water line. Vehicles coming across Maiden Lane will be diverted up North High Street to Fife Street. At some point, Maiden Lane could be closed, but it will reopen to traffic during non-working hours.
Vehicles typically parked in Lot 32 between Boreman North and Boreman South should relocate to the Mountainlair parking garage during the work. The exit to the upper level of the parking garage onto North High Street will also be closed at this time.
At certain points, there will be interruptions to domestic water and fire services for University buildings and fraternity houses.
Phase 2 of the project is expected to begin June 1 with the paving of North High Street.
Work will begin with the removal of the brick street surface at Prospect Street and progress up the hill. During this time, Maiden Lane will be closed and only authorized vehicles will be permitted. Travel on North High Street will also be restricted.
All of the utility and road work is expected to be completed by July 1.
