MU ramp work under way

A 6-month, phased project to repair concrete columns and flooring and replace steel support cables in the Memorial Union parking ramp began this week. The ramp will remain open, but jackhammer noise and concrete dust will be present. Entrance and exit routes will not change. Signs and plywood barricades will direct drivers to available parking areas. The work is scheduled to conclude by mid-November.
