Changes to Renova Drive and Hospital Drop-Off Area
On Wednesday, March 6th, the drop-off area in front of the main hospital building will become two-way traffic. There will be a new turn-around at the end of the drop-off area. Starting Monday, March 11th, the south (closest to the hospital) two lanes of Renova Drive will be closed due to construction activities for utilities work being done for the new bed building. The north two lanes of Renova will become two-way traffic.
The south sidewalks along Renova will also be closed but the cross-walk to the Visitor Parking Structure will remain open at all times. There will be flagmen directing traffic on Renova Drive near the front of Valley Specialty Center, at the hospital drop-off, and at Turner and Renova Drives.
If you are coming to hospital please take a look at these maps before your visit.
