Upcoming Hospital Work On 40th Avenue NE Near Emergency Department

Starting Thursday, Children's Hospital will close and fence off the area between the hospital and 40th Avenue NE.

The information says:

Preparation Work for Modified Emergency Department Drop-Off Project 

The existing Emergency Department (ED) driveway will be narrowed by the fence placement. Once the fence is up, crews will remove the on-site hard surfaces (such as the walkways and the old smoking shelter pad) and will also install protection measures for on-site trees and utilities.  

This work, which will take place from Aug. 24 to Aug. 31, is the next step in a larger, phased project to construct a modified ED drop-off area in preparation for Building Care construction. 

The sidewalk on 40th Avenue will remain open during this stage of work.  

The fence will remain in place for the future phases happening over the next few months. 

The work will occur from 8-6 pm weekdays and 9-6pm on Saturday.Normal levels of construction noise are anticipated.
