Roadwork along Squalicum Parkway to impact access to PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center

Roadwork along Squalicum Parkway will disrupt access to PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center starting June 2 in Bellingham, WA. Crews will build sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks, and lighting between Ellis Street and Birchwood Avenue, with construction expected to last through October. One lane will remain open, but flaggers will manage traffic daily from 8 a. m.

to 4 p. m. Street parking will not be available during construction, so patients should allow extra time to reach their destinations. Available parking options include the PeaceHealth Central and North garages. This project aims to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility in the area.

Moreover, it occurs alongside ongoing construction at the Peter Paulsen Pavilion on the hospital's campus, indicating significant infrastructural changes. The improvements are crucial for better traffic flow and patient access to medical facilities.
