Construction Scheduled for Sebago Road

Contact: Joe Carr at (207) 581-3571

ORONO — Work on UMaine’s Sebago Road will begin on Thursday, June 24.

The road will be closed to traffic until 3 p.m. each day through July 15.  Sebago is the road that cuts between Hitchner Hall and the back of Memorial Union/Fogler Library.  Grove Street Extension will be accessible via Portage Road.  A UMaine map is online at http://www.umaine.edu/locator/.

The construction project is necessary to create compliance with state regulations that prohibit head-in parking spaces on roadways.  The current parking spots on the south (Merrill Hall) side of Sebago Road will be replaced with a sidewalk continuing to Hitchner Hall.  Three handicap parking spaces, parallel to the road, will be created on the north (Cyrus Pavilion Theatre) side.
