East Campus Drive has large potholes down to the dirt, left over from 2010's harsh winter.

Road damage along East Campus Drive at the Alexandria campus will be repaired next week resulting in parking lot closures and bus detours until June 3 at the earliest. In addition East Campus Drive is closed to automobile traffic.

During the repairs Metrobus routes 25A, 25B and DASH Bus AT-6 will not pick up passengers along East Campus Drive, including the stops at Dawes Avenue and Beauregard Street. According to an email sent to students, signs will be posted at the affected bus stops. Normal bus service will resume when East Campus Drive is reopened.

The B-6 student parking lot – across from the newest section of the Bisdorf Building – will be closed during that time also.

The sidewalk along East Campus Drive will remain open for use, meaning students can still use the Beauregard Street Garage for access to the Bisdorf Building.

The road repair has taken longer than originally expected. In an email update sent on May 27, Alexandria students were informed that contingent on good weather the project would finish 6 days later than originally scheduled.
