Work scheduled in Parking Lot 2
Ten parking stalls will be closed on levels A, B and C of Parking Lot 2 as contractors install bracing and form work for a new support.
Located at the corner of Emile Street and 45th Street, Lot 2 is commonly known as the Green Patient and Visitor Parking Structure.
Beginning on Thursday, Aug. 31, concrete will be poured for the support. Also on that day, levels D and E will be closed to allow the concrete to cure without vehicle traffic to disrupt the concrete curing. Levels D and E will reopen on Sept. 5.
Final clean-up will be completed by Sept. 7.
