Construction equipment will be moved into place April 29, beginning at 8 p.m., with a steady stream of concrete delivery trucks beginning about two hours later. Work on this second pour will extend until noon Sunday.
While the pour is underway, only construction and emergency vehicles will have access to the Medical Center’s front entrance. Visitors will be directed to use the new P3 parking structure, with access to the hospital through the emergency department during off hours, and through the Grand Hallway from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Noise levels related to the construction will be significantly elevated during the pour because of the concrete pumps, construction trucks using back-up alarms, and other large equipment being used. Temporary lighting will impact the area around the construction site.
Want to watch part of this important part of the campus renewal project? Good views are available from large windows on the second floor walkway connecting the Medical Center and Children’s Hospital. The Vision 2020 web page will also be hosting the views from three webcams throughout the event.
