Announcement: Armed Forces Boulevard Entrance Closure
VA Providence Expected Traffic Flow Post Armed Forces Boulevard Entrance Closure.
By Justyn Charon, Public Affairs Specialist
As part of the ongoing security fence project, VA Providence will be closing the Armed Forces Blvd. entrance at Chalkstone Ave (Main Entrance) to the Providence VAMC.
The closure is needed so the Contractor can reconfigure the entrance, install new fencing, and a new gate at the entrance.
On Friday May 24th, the Air Force Drive / Valley Street entrance to the campus will be open to vehicular traffic.
On Tuesday night, May 28th, the Contractor will place barricades across the entrance at Armed Forces Blvd and close the entrance to vehicular traffic. On Wednesday morning, May 29th, the Contractor will install construction fencing that will close both the roadway and sidewalk for the duration of construction.
- The parking garage will remain open for the duration of construction. The upper entrance/exit to the garage will be configured for entrance only. The lower entrance/exit will remain open. Vehicles exiting the parking garage will be routed up Armed Forces Blvd towards Airforce Drive & Marine Corps Trail. Vehicles exiting the garage will not be allowed onto Army Rd. to reduce congestion.
- Parking Lot P1, across from the parking garage, will be partially closed and designated as government vehicle parking only. Please do not park in Lot P1 during construction.
