Rockwood Blvd. Construction Near Hospital

The Rockwood Boulevard construction project begins September 2, impacting traffic and parking around Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center. This initiative involves rehabilitating the pavement and redesigning the intersection of Rockwood Boulevard, Cowley Street, and 10th Avenue. Utility work will include replacing outdated water main pipes and repairing sections of the sewer and brick catch basins. Starting Tuesday, traffic will be condensed on Rockwood Boulevard, with closures on Sumner Avenue and 10th Avenue for through traffic. Sidewalk detours will affect pedestrians, though local access will remain open.

The project aims to improve infrastructure and is expected to be completed by mid-October. These upgrades are vital for ensuring the reliability of local utilities and enhancing roadway safety. Residents are encouraged to support affected businesses during the construction period.
