Welch Rd is now a one-lane, one-way road going West from Quarry to Pasteur Drive. This change will be in effect for two years. We thank you for your patience regarding this significant change and ask that you please adjust your driving route accordingly. South Pasteur Drive is now a two-way two-lane road. North Pasteur Drive is closed between Blake Wilbur Drive and Sand Hill Road.
Staff parking is still available in PS-4 but all vehicles will need to enter and exit PS-4 via South Pasteur Drive. Stanford Hospital & Clinics Visitor parking will be maintained at PS-3 and at the Valet lots. For a complete list of parking facilities near the medical center, click here.
K-Rail will remain in place on the inboard side of Quarry Rd (between Welch and continuing up to the Quarry Extension near the turn to the Emergency Department) in order to facilitate ongoing utility work. This reduces Quarry to a two lane, two direction road during this time. Access will be maintained to the Emergency Department at all times.
New water line installation work will continue on both Welch Road and Quarry Road. Saw-cutting and trenching work will continue behind the K-Rail on Quarry Road at Welch Road to bring in a new gas line up towards the Quarry Extension. Installation of a new chilled water main will continue on Welch Road (between North and South Pasteur Drive), working towards Quarry Road.
Please be cautious of construction trucks entering the road. Access to the Emergency Room will be maintained at all times.
What to expect next weekend (12/16-12/18)
Hours of Construction Activity: 7am - 3:30 pm
No work is planned.
