Please be advised that road work near the PG4 facility employee entrance will begin the evening of October 6 through October 8, 2026. The road will NOT be closed, and PG4 permit holders will continue to have access to the facility. Flaggers will be in place to maintain one open lane of traffic at all times and assist with access to the lower levels. An asphalt wedge will also be installed around the work area as needed.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as this work is completed. Please contact Duke PTS at (919) 684-7275 or tranpark@duke.edu if you have any questions.

Sewer system work at the Reuben-Cooke building is scheduled from Monday, October 12, through Friday, October 16. During this time, approximately six parking spaces in the Allen Upper Lot will be blocked for work crews. Please avoid parking in these designated areas.
Traffic access will remain open, though there may be brief delays.
