Bear Street Construction

When heading to Bear Street, stop and ask a Bear Street Ambassador for the best route to your destination. Or, check the regularly updated maps at each entrance for pedestrian detours, as there will be multiple closures to navigate around. Be courteous with the ambassadors, as they are trying to help you get to your destination as easily as possible. Sidewalk closures will change daily as the construction crew work in different areas.
