The city has asked that the MSU campus community use Hail State Boulevard to Poorhouse Road to access the Academy Road side of South Montgomery or use Louisville Street to access Lynn Lane and Academy Road.
  
Access to residences in that closed area will be allowed, but thru traffic will not be permitted.
