After years of fundraising and planning, work is finally set to commence on the new UConn athletic stadiums in the “Athletics District” of the Storrs campus. This project will replace the Huskies’ outdated baseball, soccer and softball stadiums with new, state-of-the-art facilities.
Beginning on Aug. 27, the western-most portion of Jim Calhoun Way between Separatist Road and I-Lot will be closed for infrastructure work to accommodate the running water and electricity needed at the new facilities. The road is expect to re-open Oct. 1, although various portions will be closed between now and 2020 due to the construction.
