A temporary pedestrian bridge has been installed on the east side of Euclid Avenue near the shuttle depot. The accessible bridge will be in place for about four months to accommodate excavation of a tunnel under Euclid leading to the future loading docks of the BJC Institute of Health at Washington University.
Sidewalks on the east side of Euclid and the north side of Children’s Place will remain open during construction. Shuttle service and access to the link and MetroLink are not impacted.
The 11-story, 700,000-square-foot BJC Institute of Health at Washington University is scheduled to open in December 2009. Workers now are forming the foundation walls and setting what will amount to 8,210 tons of steel.
