Construction timeline
Early stages of permitting, completing the project design and material procurement so the overall construction project schedule is still in development and, with all projects of this magnitude, will be fluid.
Currently the project team is reevaluating the sequencing of the work to expedite the construction of the Hospital and shorten the overall timeline.
Specifically looking to start the Parking Garage in advance of the North lot and overlap with the foundations of the Hospital.
Challenge due to the very tight site, limited material staging space and limited areas suitable to place cranes.
Current DRAFT schedule below. Site Utility, FPL and Telford will proceed as scheduled regardless of the initiative to expedite the Garage.
- Site Utility and FPL work has started and will finish 1st QRT 2025 (3/27/2025)
- Telford Demolition to start, pending permitting, in 1st QRT 2025 (2/10/2025)
- Telford Demolition complete in 2nd QRT 2025 (5/30/2025)
- North Parking Lot work to start 2nd QRT 2025 (3/28/2025)
- North Parking Lot work to finish 4th QRT 2025 (12/30/2025)
- Hospital work to start 3rd QRT 2025 (7/1/2025)
- Hospital work to finish TBD QRT 2027 (3rd – 4th QRT) – working with contractor to validate to finalize permitting, construction durations and substantial completion timeline
- Parking Garage work to start 1st QRT 2026 (1/6/2026)
- Parking Garage work to finish 4th QTR 2026 (12/29/2026)
Traffic/parking routing and limitations in brief?
The construction team will route construction traffic to avoid 6th Street North. There will be 2 – 3 utility connections needed in 6th Street North during the first half of 2025. These traffic impacts will be minimal and traffic flagman will be placed.
The construction team will minimize traffic on 2nd Ave North and 4th Ave North limiting traffic West of 7th St North.
Contractor parking on neighborhood and adjacent streets will not be permitted. Construction laborers and staff will be directed to park offsite and shuttled to the site.
NCH will provide shuttle service to NCH employees and valet services will be provided to customers.
