Rockwood Blvd. Construction Near Hospital
Construction on Rockwood Boulevard near Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center begins Tuesday, September 2, resulting in street closures and limited parking in the vicinity. The project aims to rehabilitate the roadway and redesign the intersection of Rockwood Blvd. and Cowley St. to improve traffic flow. Utility work will also take place, including the replacement of outdated water mains and repairs to sewer lines.
Traffic will be condensed, with no metered parking on Rockwood Blvd. and 9th Ave. Local access remains available, while pedestrians may face sidewalk detours. The city urges drivers to slow down for safety and to support local businesses affected by the construction. The project is expected to finish by mid-October, with ongoing updates provided on the city's construction webpage.
