The road will allow campus traffic to move between the two areas of campus, alleviating traffic on Austin Bluffs Parkway and North Nevada Avenue. The 3,150 feet of new road will also allow a safer route for pedestrians and cyclists to move on campus. Campus shuttles are expected to run on faster timelines with the new road.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_113228\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-113228\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_5234.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-113228 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_5234-750x500.jpg\" alt=\"View of Spine Road near northern end.\" width=\"740\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_5234-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_5234-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_5234.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-113228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of the new Spine Road near the construction of the William J.
