Construction begins Monday on TidalHealth Salisbury's Observation Unit expansion, forcing road closures on West Vine Street and Patterson Road. The 17-day project will impact traffic patterns through early April.
Motorists in Salisbury should prepare for significant traffic disruptions starting Monday morning as construction crews begin work on TidalHealth Salisbury’s hospital expansion project.
Salisbury’s Department of Infrastructure and Development has announced that construction workers will start the first phase of the Observation Unit expansion at 100 Carroll Street at 7 a.m. on March 16. Officials expect the initial construction phase to wrap up by April 4, assuming no unexpected complications arise.
The 17-day construction period will significantly impact local traffic patterns. West Vine Street will be completely shut down to vehicle traffic, while both West Vine Street and Patterson Road will experience lane restrictions in both directions. Pedestrians will also face sidewalk closures along West Vine Street during the construction window.
City officials are advising all travelers – whether driving, biking, or walking – to anticipate delays and plan alternative routes while the work is underway. The construction zone will require both partial lane closures and complete road shutdowns in the immediate project area.
City representatives expressed gratitude to local residents and visitors for their understanding during the construction period, noting that the temporary inconvenience will ultimately benefit the community through TidalHealth’s enhanced medical services.
