Intersection Improvements to Close Portions of Harmon and Clinton Avenues

Portions of Clinton Avenue, Harmon Avenue and Center Street will be closed off by the city to make the intersection safer for pedestrians.

The City of Fayetteville will begin a road project this week on the southeast corner of campus, adding traffic signals and crosswalks to the intersection of Clinton Avenue/Center Street and Harmon Avenue, making it safer for pedestrians.

This intersection is currently without signals and, therefore, the traffic is uncontrolled, making it very difficult for pedestrians to make their way to campus and for Razorback Transit buses to navigate the area.

The portions of Clinton Avenue from Stadium Drive traffic leading up to the intersection will be closed off to through traffic starting Monday, June 27, but the intersection will remain open until Aug. 1. The duration of the closing is not yet known from the city at this time, but the project is expected to be completed by early 2023.

Detour routes for vehicles and Razorback Transit buses are still being adjusted at this time. Riders of Razorback Transit, especially those along Route 13, which does utilize roads near the construction, are encouraged to use the Passio GO! App for updated route detours during the closures.

The project is funded by the Streets Improvement Bond approved by Fayetteville residents in 2019.
