greenwood blvd construction updates
General information
A project to reconstruct Greenwood Blvd from Sussex to Canterbury started this week. The entire project is expected to go through the fall (depending on weather delays). They will be doing two blocks at a time, first the north side lane on Greenwood, and when that is finished, they will do the south side lane.
An opportunity for yoga off the mat: This situation reminds me of when they closed highway 64/40 for two years and I think most of us were initially a bit freaked out, then after the first couple weeks we all learned our way around. May we all take some deep breaths, allow a little extra time and go with the flow.
Current Road Closures
They are currently tearing up several blocks on the north side of Greenwood from Sussex to Sutton.
This means there is only one way traffic heading east on Greenwood from the Big Bend end to St Elmo. Then there is two-way traffic from St Elmo all the way to Canterbury to the east.
If you need to head west to get to Big Bend from the studio head east first, turn right on St Elmo, then right on Oxford and take that to the light at Big Bend.
You cannot access Greenwood from Sutton, although there are some parking options on that side of the railroad tracks.
You cannot get to Greenwood using the Railroad St exit ramp from southbound Big Bend. If you do take the ramp, you can get to Sutton (and possible parking).
If you want to get to Greenwood heading east from Big Bend, go to the light at Oxford and turn left if you are traveling South on Big Bend, then left on Sussex or Kensington and right on Greenwood.
If you are traveling North on Big Bend you can either take the ramp that drops you off on Greenwood heading east, or turn right on Oxford then left on Sussex or Kensington and right on Greenwood.

Gravel area north of railroad tracks to the west of Sutton.
