Fulton Road
To Be Blocked
Fulton Road which stretches between
the Veterans Administration Hospital
and the parking garage will be partially
barricaded for two weeks beginning
early next week.
The barricades will be erected so that
construction workers may relocate
utility lines as part of the preparations
for building the new Duke Hospital.
The large “H" and "HS " parking lots
along Fulton Road will remain open
according to Harry Gentry, manager of
medical center traffic and parking, but
Erwin Road at the VA Hospital
intersection will present the only access
to them.
The “HS ” lot parallel and adjacent to
the railroad tracks between Erwin Road
and Fulton Road will not be affected.
All emergency traffic will be routed
from Erwin Road to Trent Drive which
runs between the School of Nursing
and the Graduate Center, and then onto
Fulton Road in front of the parking
garage and Emergency Drive in front of
Bell Building.
Access to the “N" lot which serves
the School of Nursing will also be by
way of Trent Drive and Fulton.
The construction team will t)e using
pneumatic jackhammers or small
blasting charges. Gentry said, and so
there may be a certain amount of noise
associated with their work.
