West Drive Closing on Weekends

Friday, February 26, 2010

In order to begin final construction of the flood wall, shoring will be installed along the West Drive.  The West Drive will be closed from just past the Emergency Department entrance down to the entrance/exit to the G Lot.  This installation will take place over two weekends – Saturday, February 27 and Sunday, February 28 and Saturday, March 6 and Sunday, March 7.

During these weekends, the West Drive will be closed; however, the West Drive will reopen Monday through Friday.  Patients will still be able to access the Emergency Department at all times.  Once all the shoring is in place, the West Drive will remain open to two-way vehicle traffic, but no pedestrian traffic will be permitted.
