One of the first steps in the effort to expand Packard Children's Hospital and rebuild Stanford Hospital includes utility work and surface improvements. The Welch Road Utility Project includes: replacing utility services and information technology infrastructure along Welch and Quarry Roads to serve the new hospital facilities once they are built; the widening of Welch Road; replacement of sidewalks, curbs and gutters; planting of new street trees and installation of planted medians and street lighting.
Note: Access to the Emergency Room will be maintained at all times.

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.
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.
Work will begin near the front of Stanford Hospital to prepare the Kaplan Lawn site for the construction of the new Kaplan Drive. This new road will serve as the main entrance into the new Stanford Hospital once it opens its doors for operations in early 2018.
Work to construct Kaplan Drive is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, 3/20 (pending permits). This work will be contained on the site. Construction traffic will enter and exit on N. Pasteur.
Work will continue to install a new hot water line on Quarry Road. This work will take place in Quarry Extension. Access to Receiving and to the Emergency Department will be maintained at all times via flagmen.
The old water main on Welch has been turned off. All new water tie-ins are complete.
Work to install a new chilled water line will continue on Welch Road working north to south. Work to install new power line on Quarry Road will continue working south to north.
Hardscape demolition of the parking lot behind the Blake Wilbur Clinic will continue.
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 (3/24-3/25) Hours of Construction Activity: 8am - 5 pm
