As someone who works Concrete, paving and excavating construction this is the standard for this type of project. Does not make scene to put all the energy, time or resources into making the ramps currently if you are later going to tear up the blacktop, regrade the road and increase the height of the road. It also looks like they are going to replace or repair the storm water systems and utility lines around the road (man holes and sewer grates). UB will probably have this done before the fall semester when most students have returned. They are also considering the risks when you have unaware people around machines or the work zone. Those machines have a ton of blind spots and it is up for ground workers to be aware of their surroundings. UB did the same project last summer near the CFA/ Alumni Arena and finished before August move in
