The B-zone Petrie Lot, commonly referred to as "the pit" is permanently closed and covered with construction workers and equipment.
The pit is located north of Jordan-Hare Stadium between the stadium and Petrie Hall.
"The lot is permanently closed and Duncan will be relocated," said David Vedder, manager of parking services.
The lot is closed because the Tiger Transit route takes the busses down Duncan Drive and left on West Thatch Avenue.
"The angle is too steep for buses right now," Vedder said.
The pit will be filled in and a new transit route will be paved with an outlet on South Donahue Drive.
Parking services plans for a more level road for the busses to exit from the Transit station without a hill to climb.
When the project is completed, the remaining section of West Thatch Avenue will be turned into a pedestrian walkway.
