Portions of Lindsey and Jenkins streets will be closed throughout much of the summer. OU is constructing a water chiller plant just north of the Huston Huffman Center and the replacement of a storm sewer on Lindsey Street, OU spokesman Jay Doyle said by e-mail.

“The university tries to have construction projects (that) have the least impact on the community as a whole so for certain projects the summer time gives an ideal opportunity to get projects accomplished,” Doyle said.

Jenkins Street is scheduled to re-open by the end of June and Lindsey Street is scheduled to re-open at the end of July, Doyle said.
