AnMed to close two roads starting Monday in Anderson

ANDERSON — Ongoing construction at AnMed Health Medical Center will temporarily close parts of Woodrow Circle and Summit Avenue in Anderson starting April 7.

The roads will close to all vehicles. Patients and visitors can enter the Medical Center through its main entrance on Fant Street. Physicians should use North Street to access the physician parking lot behind the hospital.

“These temporary road closures will allow for efforts to improve parking and traffic flow on the back side of the main campus,” said AnMed Health vice president David Glymph. “We are doing our best to minimize the inconvenience that the work may cause.”

Woodrow Circle and Summit Avenue are expected to reopen this fall.

The construction is part of a four-year, $74 million renovation at the 461-bed hospital. The project included replacing the AnMed Health Learning Center with a 70-space parking lot; opening a minor care center inside the former AnMed Health Family Medicine Center at Calhoun and Fant Streets; and the addition of 200 parking spaces on the hospital’s east and south sides.
