Road work that will disrupt traffic on Turner McCall Boulevard for about a week will change how some drivers access Atrium Health Floyd Medical Center's emergency room and Family Birth Center.

Because of utility relocation as part of the North Second Avenue widening project, Turner McCall Boulevard will be closed or limited to traffic from Martha Berry Boulevard to North Fifth Avenue, beginning May 6, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. North Second Avenue runs beside the hospital along the Coosa River levee.

The nightly closures on Turner McCall Boulevard are expected to last about a week.

Ambulatory patients needing care at the Emergency Care Center and laboring mothers seeking to enter the Family Birth Center are encouraged to access those areas from North Second Avenue.

They can also access those areas from Keelway Drive, which runs by the hospital's parking deck on the north side of Turner McCall Boulevard.

Department of Transportation officials will be working with utilities experts to move water lines that will be impacted by the widening project.
