Part of Berry Hill Road will be closed to traffic

One end of Berry Hill Road in Paget will be closed to traffic as of Monday for four weeks, from the hospital entrance to the junction of Point Finger Road.The planned closure will facilitate the next phase of the hospital’s redevelopment project.Paget Health Services General Manager Barry New said: “We recognise that this will be a temporary inconvenience but this work is required to make a connection to a Government water supply in the catchment area in the BHB’s staff car park.“We have worked closely with Government departments in order to agree the best route for this connection and the timing for the work,” said Mr New.Bermuda Hospitals Board CEO, Venetta Symonds said the primary concern “is to ensure the hospital remains accessible to visitors and patients”.“This work will not impact the visitors’ car park, but will require all people accessing the hospital, Botanical Gardens and other residences along Berry Hill Road to enter from Tee Street,” said Ms Symonds.She also apologised for the inconvenience but said the work is expected to be completed by mid-June.According to the BHB press release, the project is currently on budget and on schedule for the new acute care facility to open in 2014.Mr New added: “Paget Health Services will work extremely hard to ensure all work is completed on time.”He also thanked everyone for their understanding.
