Patients and visitors travelling to Queen Alexandra Hospital are advised that Nightingale Road will temporarily close later this week to allow essential drainage works to take place. Further details including timings can be found below:
- Friday 13 November (7am) to Tuesday 17 November (6pm) full closure: there will be no vehicle access along Nightingale Road during this time. This includes no access to Blue Badge Parking along this road. Alternative spaces are available in our multi-storey car parks and on the road up past the Eye Department, as well as between the Main and North Entrances.
- Tuesday 17 November (6pm) to Wednesday 25 November (5pm) single-lane closure: traffic lights will control traffic along Nightingale Road, as it will be reduced to a single-lane. Blue Badge Parking by the old Emergency Department will be accessible during this phase of the works.
During the full closure, public buses will use an alternative route, entering at the lower end of the site and leaving via Cavell Drive. This means only the bus stops outside the hospital’s Main Entrance will be in use during the full closure.
Pedestrian access will be possible and people are asked to follow any signage displayed.
If you are travelling to the hospital during this period, please allow extra time for your journey and follow any temporary signs in place.
We apologise for any inconvenience and thank patients, visitors, and colleagues for their patience while these essential works are carried out.
