Construction Update: April 15 to 26, 2024

Third-Floor Hillside Garage

Work is ongoing on the concrete foundations and forms, as well as underground plumbing and utilities. At this time, continued truck traffic can be expected. Pre-cast deliveries continue and are expected to impact traffic on Centre Street and Whitcomb Avenue through May. Police details will be in place to ensure minimal disruptions.

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. Please note, throughout the month of April there will be intermittent closures of one lane of the loop road. In addition, water testing will take place from April 22 through 26.

Street Enhancements

A new walkway handrail will be installed between April 16 and 18. During this time, the new walkway will be closed to pedestrian traffic. Please follow the posted signage indicating the detour route. In addition, there will be changes to the flow of traffic on the main road in front of hospital from April 20 to 22 to accommodate the installation a new manhole. During this time, accessible parking spaces near Allandale Street will not have access to the sidewalk. Patients and visitors requiring accessible parking are encouraged to park in the spaces near Belkin House. Work for the new signaling system will begin in late May. Road markings, including a new bicycle lane on Centre Street, will be completed after installation of the signaling systems. The Blue Bike station is expected to be fully in place later in the summer.

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.
