Construction Update: Nov. 11–22, 2024

Hillside Garage

The site fence is scheduled to be removed. The building will remain locked and fence panels will be installed at new garage entrances. Caulking of canopies and entrance signs will also take place.

Inside the garage, crews are finishing painting, installing pipe guards and reviewing a punch list of remaining items that need attention.

Loop Road

Beginning Nov. 12, crews will begin a repaving operation on the loop road. Police details will be provided on-site to assist with traffic management. Full depth removal and binder coat will occur between 8 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. The final overlay coat and line striping will happen at night. The line stripe is expected to be completed on Nov. 29. Staff and patients should use Whitcomb when exiting during loop road paving – thank you.
