Third-Floor Hillside Garage
Work continues on underground utilities and the curtain wall, which requires intermittent use of the Whitcomb Avenue entrance through August.
Inpatient Addition
Work is progressing for the inpatient addition with interior work and exterior wall installation ongoing. Staff and patients should expect intermittent disruptions to the loop road during this time. Specifically, one lane of the loop road will be closed on Monday, July 1, and Tuesday, July 2, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Staff will be on hand to assist the flow of traffic during this time. Construction activities will require the closure of the loop road on Saturday, July 13, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. During this time, the Whitcomb Avenue gate will be used to access parking behind the hospital.
Street Enhancements
Work to install utilities on Allandale Street will continue through the week of July 8. This work will begin on the inbound lane and will require lane closures between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Bike lanes on Allandale and Centre Streets will be temporarily striped the week of July 1 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Blue Bike station is expected to be fully in place later in the summer. “No right turn on red” signage will also be installed and the dedicated right turn only lane will be eliminated. This work will require intermittent lane closures.
All road construction work will have details on site to help direct traffic and minimize disruptions.
Interior and Roof
Work is also underway inside the hospital and on the roof to accommodate the new inpatient addition. Please expect that there will be increased noise and possible disturbances within the hospital while construction activity continues. Individual departments within the hospital that will be directly impacted will be notified of any possible disruptions to operations ahead of time in order to properly prepare and mitigate impacts to patients, visitors and staff.
