LVH–Cedar Crest Construction Update

Look to the Skywalk

Make Way for H

When all of the exterior panels are installed on the pedestrian bridge, crews will affix lettering welcoming people to Lehigh Valley Hospital. The bridge also will include its own version of LVH–Muhlenberg’s Big Blue H.

It rises 27 feet off the ground and spans a distance of 150 feet. It’s the pedestrian bridge that joins LVH–Cedar Crest with the new Center for Advanced Health Care, and it’s beginning to take shape. Watch for lane restrictions along the ring road as crews install its exterior panels through September.

Here are some other bridges construction crews will be crossing this month:

Parking Deck —Flagmen will direct traffic while 284 precast concrete panels are delivered during the next three weeks. Use caution when driving by the construction vehicle entrance near the Cancer Center and in lot 12A, where trucks will load materials used to backfill sections of the parking deck site. Due to design changes that will improve the deck’s operational efficiency, the completion date has been pushed back to December.

Main Entrance —A new main entrance road, which includes patient drop-off lanes, is scheduled to open Sept. 4. The temporary canopy and construction fencing will be removed.

The Center for Advanced Health Care —Inside, tenants and architects are collaborating to design workspace areas. Outside, sidewalks and a parking lot will be constructed.
