Key Changes to the Traffic Pattern:

1. One-Way Street in Front of the Hospital:

2. New Entrance for Parking Garage:
   • For those heading to the Nashville VA Medical Center parking garage, you will now enter from the corner of 24th Avenue S. and Pierce Avenue.
   • Please note that you will no longer be able to enter the parking garage from the direction of 24th Avenue S. and Highland Avenue.
3. Emergency Room (ER) Entrance Update:
   • The ER entrance remains the same and can enter at any direction. 

Directions at a Glance:

• Service Street Access: Only accessible from 24th Avenue S. and Pierce Avenue.
• Parking Garage Entrance: Enter from the corner of 24th Avenue S. and Pierce Avenue.
• No Entry: From the direction of 24th Avenue S. and Highland Avenue.

What Should You Do?

• Plan Ahead: Be aware of the new one-way street and plan your route to enter the parking garage from 24th Avenue S. and Pierce Avenue.
