August 2011-September 2013
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.
This week's activities:

Weekday work (7/30-8/3)

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.
Temporary water shutdowns will begin next week on all Welch Road properties. These shutdowns are being scheduled with each individual property in order to minimize any inconvenience.
Work will continue to construct a new road near the Blake Wilbur Clinic and 1101 Welch Road. This road will ultimately serve ambulances from Welch Road into the New Stanford Hospital facility. Pedestrian detour signage is in place on Blake Wilbur Drive. Access to the clinics will be maintained at all times. Utility excavation (water, gas) will continue next to the Blake Wilbur Building. This work is not vibratory compaction work.
Sidewalk replacement work that runs from AMC/Blake Wilbur Clinics adjacent to 801 Welch through to Welch will begin next week. A pedestrian detour to Welch Road will be in place via the new Blake Wilbur Drive sidewalk.
The lower path at Packard Children's next to 777 Welch remains closed for tree evaluation. This path should re-open within the next two weeks. The upper path alongside the Packard Children's main driveway remains open. Signage is in place to assist pedestrians.
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 (8/4-8/5)
