People who visit Cariboo Memorial Hospital (CMH) are advised of temporary changes to vehicle access into the site’s parking area and intermittent traffic delays from Jan. 11-12, 2025.
As a result of meeting a substantial construction milestone in Phase 1 of the CMH redevelopment project, the 200-foot-tall crane that has been in place for more than one year will be dismantled. This process will impact how the public, patients and some staff access the building. There is no impact to hospital services.
Public diversion for vehicle traffic and partial closure of patient/visitor parking
During the dismantling of the crane components, the access lane, between the hospital main entry and the parking lot, will be closed to vehicle traffic, including partial closure of the patient/visitor parking lot. Temporary closure of this area ensures public and staff safety while the crane is being dismantled.
Jan. 11, 7:30 a.m. to Jan. 12, 5 p.m.
- Vehicle access lane between hospital main entry and parking lot closed
- Pedestrian access through hospital main entry remains open
- Main visitor/patient parking lot remains open, with intermittent traffic delays by flag persons
Jan. 11, 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
- Intermittent traffic delays at entrance to main patient/visitor parking lot access off 6th Ave / Gibbons Street
Jan. 11, 5 p.m. through Jan. 12. 5 p.m.
- To help guide patients/visitors, signage and flag persons will be posted at strategic locations to alert incoming traffic/pedestrians and direct to alternative locations. All CMH and Deni House entrances will be open and accessible during the traffic diversion and parking lot closures.
Interior Health would like to thank the public and staff for their understanding of these changes as this capital investment continues to modernize the hospital in Williams Lake.
