Langdon Street to close Friday, diverting several campus bus routes

A portion of Langdon Street will close Friday for the opening of the UW-Madison Alumni Park.

The block of Langdon Street between North Park Street and North Lake Street will be closed off between noon and 9 p.m.

While pedestrians will still be able to access the area, cars and buses will not. Several campus bus routes — including the 80, 81 and 82 — that regularly make stops in the area will detour during the road closure.

That bus stop will be moved to University Avenue, between North Park Street and North Lake Street, city officials said in a release.

Alumni Park, located between the Memorial Union and the Red Gym, will be open to the public. It will honor more than 120 alumni and feature more than 50 art exhibits, according to the Wisconsin Alumni Association.
