Those who commute to the university via the swing bridge, will need to plan an alternate route when closures begin in August.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>During the O-Train shutdown in May 2020<\/strong>, buses will replace train service for an estimated two years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The university is taking steps to mitigate increased traffic congestion on campus.
