Plaza Garage Entrance Detour

January 2025 - Contractors will close the patient and visitor entrance/exit to the Plaza Garage from Barnes-Jewish Plaza for five weekends starting the evening of January 17. 

Demolition of the remaining structure of the Plaza Garage lobby, the elevators and the escalators will take place for five weekends beginning at 6 p.m., Friday, Jan. 17. Barnes-Jewish Plaza will remain open in both directions. 

Weekends affected are Jan. 17-19; Jan. 24-26; Jan. 31-Feb. 2; Feb. 7-9; Feb. 14-16.

While the street will remain open, contractors will close the patient and visitor entrance/exit to the Plaza Garage, including the sidewalk, every weekend because of its proximity to the demolition. Patients and visitors will be detoured to the team member entrance to the Plaza Garage on Clayton Ave. Everyone accessing the hospital from the garage will need to take the new pedestrian bridge.

• The Plaza Garage patient and visitor entrance/exit will close starting at 6 p.m. each Friday. This includes the sidewalk along the entrance/exit ramp.
• The Plaza Garage patient and visitor entrance/exit will reopen by 6 p.m. every Sunday. This includes the sidewalk along the entrance/exit ramp.
• The gates to the team member entrance to the Plaza Garage from Clayton Ave. over the weekends will allow entry and exit by patients and visitors.
• Weekend team members will still be able to park in the Plaza Garage using the Clayton Ave. entrance. There are no changes to team member parking access.
• Detour signs will be posted directing patients and visitors.
• The drop off/pick up lanes at the hospital entrance will remain open.
• Barnes-Jewish Plaza will remain open in both directions.  
• The duration of the project is weather dependent.
