Greetings!
Beginning Monday, Mar. 4, construction is expected to begin on Washington Street by the city of Dayton. This is due to work on curbs, sidewalks and road infrastructure. This construction is expected to last until November 2019.
During the construction period, students are encouraged to arrive early, particularly if they park in D lot. Traffic to A, B, C and D lots is expected to be congested, especially the first day of construction. At times, construction crews will have traffic down to one lane which will cause delays.
We appreciate your patience during this construction. We will also have updates on the homepage of the
CJ website
as the construction progresses.
