Until then, traffic will be backed up as a result of lane closings. Travelers are urged to consider alternatives to their regular routes. For instance, those who typically exit Interstate 65 east of Lafayette might instead take Indiana 43 and Soldiers Home Road to U.S. 52, turning left on Yeager Road and approaching campus on Northwestern Avenue. Bus service, parking changes should ease growing pains With fall enrollment expected to reach record levels at the West Lafayette Campus and road construction continuing east of campus, several changes are afoot to smooth out the inevitable wrinkles. All students will be able to use CityBus, the Greater Lafayette mass transit service, free of charge by showing a Purdue identification card.
Students can use the bus service from anywhere in Greater Lafayette.
Faculty and staff can use routes that serve campus. For students living just across the Wabash River, a new loop will serve the area bounded by Union, Ninth, Brown and Fourth streets. Buses will be added to handle increased ridership. Several buses will offer bike racks and will be equipped to accommodate people with disabilities. Four new shelters also will be erected.
