Work is underway to expand parking capacity at Victoria General Hospital.
Once complete, there will be 57 new public parking spaces on the northwest side of the hospital, says Island Health.
Construction began Monday (Aug. 24).
“The construction work will be phased, affecting approximately 15 spaces at a time, during which these spaces will not be available,” said an Island Health news release.
“There will be signage and traffic controllers when needed to help guide traffic flow.”
Island Health said access to the main entrance and emergency department will not be affected during this time.
“We recognize this work may be disruptive to patients, visitors and staff, and we apologize for any inconvenience this work may cause,” they said.
During construction, patients and visitors should allow for extra time to find parking or arrange drop-off and pick-up for appointments and visits where possible.
Construction of the 57 parking spaces will require the removal of several trees.
Island Health said it has completed the appropriate environmental assessments and will replant 23 trees as part of this project.
The work is expected to be completed in late fall.
