Kennon Observatory Transit Hub to Open Aug. 26

Completion of the new Kennon Observatory Transit Hub for bus traffic has been delayed. Buses will begin using the location starting Wednesday (Aug. 26). Pedestrians will be able to walk through the area starting Monday (Aug. 24). Green and Yellow lines will continue to pick up and drop off at the Turner Center stop. The Gold Line will continue to pick up and drop off at the Athletics offices until Wednesday.

Starting at 7 a.m. Wednesday, the Transit Hub will be fully functional. The Green, Yellow and Gold Line buses will run as scheduled and riders may use the new bus stop between Brevard and Lewis halls, which will replace the aforementioned Turner Center and Athletics stops.

The ADA ramp on the Lewis Hall side of the walkway up to the Civil Rights Monument will be closed for two more weeks until safety rails are installed.
