Sent on behalf of Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
Two and a half years ago, two tower cranes were erected along Kingshighway Blvd. to lift and move equipment and supplies to construct Plaza West Tower, the 16-story inpatient facility at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Those cranes have lifted and placed tons of materials and supplies.
One of the tower cranes was dismantled in August. The second tower crane will be disassembled over two upcoming weekends, impacting traffic on Kingshighway:
- Starting at 6 pm, Friday, October 25, work began to prepare for the disassembly of the crane. Contractors closed one lane of Kingshighway, north of Barnes-Jewish Plaza. Two northbound lanes remained open; southbound traffic was not be affected. Contractors expect to reopen all lanes before morning rush hour on Monday, October 28.
• Starting at 6 pm, Friday, November 1, work will continue to close two northbound lanes of Kingshighway, just north of Barnes-Jewish Plaza. One northbound lane will remain open; southbound traffic will not be affected. Contractors expect to complete the crane disassembly before the morning rush hour on Monday, November 4. - Be sure to watch progress on the webcams.
