Rockwood Blvd. Construction Near Hospital

Construction work on Rockwood Boulevard near Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center begins Tuesday, Sept. 2, and will last until mid-October. The project aims to rehabilitate the pavement, redesign the intersection of Rockwood Blvd. and Cowley St. , and conduct utility upgrades, including replacing outdated water main pipes and repairing a section of the sewer.

Rockwood Blvd. will be condensed with no on-street metered parking available on both 9th Ave. and Rockwood Blvd. between Grand Blvd. and Cowley St.

Sumner Ave. /10th Ave. will be closed for east/west traffic, while north/south traffic will open at the Sumner Ave. /10th Ave. intersection.

Local access will remain available, but pedestrians should expect sidewalk detours. Residents and visitors are encouraged to support businesses affected by the construction. Current obstruction information is accessible on the city’s construction webpage. The project highlights the city’s commitment to infrastructure improvement and public safety.
