July construction update
Children’s Memorial Hospital continues construction on Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago at 225 E. Chicago Ave. (next to Northwestern Memorial’s Prentice Women’s Hospital).
In July, we will continue finishing up the exterior work. Almost all of the pre-cast (skin of the building) and windows have been installed. In addition, there is significant interior work taking place on each floor. On the upper levels, drywall is being installed, and plumbing and electrical work continues. On the lower levels, workers are painting walls, protecting and sealing floors, and preparing for installation of cabinets. Also, construction continues on the 5th floor bridge connecting Lurie Children's to Prentice Women's Hospital (all work to be done on site); as well as the 2nd floor pedestrian bridge connecting Lurie Children’s, Prentice and the parking garage for families and visitors.
Due to the nature of the work related to the installation of the pedestrian bridge across Superior St, lane or street closures will be required in the area in front of the parking garage during portions of the project. Below is the anticipated schedule.
ANTICIPATED SCHEDULE:
Superior St. Bridge Installation:
June 1, 2010 - March 1, 2011 (target date subject to weather, etc.)

Work on Sundays is also likely to continue timely completion of construction. You may notice increased truck activity related to deliveries.
