University of Illinois Facilities and Services has informed us that East Peabody Drive at Fourth Street will be closed to traffic beginning Thursday, May 21 for excavation related to a sewer line installation. The road is scheduled to reopen on Saturday, June 6, 2015.
During construction, Peabody Drive will remain open to local traffic approaching from the Sixth Street intersection just east of the museum.
Parking: Access to the museum parking lot should not be hindered during construction. In the event that the KAM parking lot is temporarily closed, metered parking is available north- and south-bound along Sixth Street, near the Kinkead Pavilion Entrance.
Accessibility: Automated doors, elevators, and seated walkers are available at the Kinkead Pavilion entrance to the museum. It will remain open to visitors at all times the museum is open. For special events, please note that there is accessible parking and a ramped entrance to the Link Gallery on the north side of the Art + Design building. That parking lot entrance is located on Fourth Street between Peabody Drive and Gregory.
