Henry Ford Hospital Campus Progress

The entire Destination: Grand construction site in Detroit is officially active and fenced off. That means some roads are closed or impacted, and some traffic patterns have shifted around Henry Ford Hospital – primarily on the south side of West Grand Boulevard near the Henry Ford Brigitte Harris Cancer Pavilion.

Primary impacts to roads include:

• West Milwaukee Street from southbound John C. Lodge Service Drive to the cancer center drive is closed;
• Lincoln Street from West Grand Boulevard to Wilbur Avenue is closed;
• West Baltimore Avenue from southbound John C. Lodge Service Drive to Lincoln Street is closed;
• And Wilbur Avenue will remain open with access only from Holden to Lincoln (south).

To get to the Henry Ford Brigitte Harris Cancer Pavilion: Use West Grand Blvd. and turn right at West Milwaukee Street to go behind the building and turn left into the parking area.

There will be minimal impact to roads and traffic on the north side of West Grand Blvd. for those coming and going from Henry Ford Hospital.

The fencing and road closures will be in effect while the area remains an active construction site. Those driving in the area should be mindful of detour signs and other directional signage to help them navigate around the medical campus.

Henry Ford Health + Michigan State University Health Sciences Research Center Progress

Construction began in late May for the Henry Ford Health + Michigan State University Health Sciences Research Center, located in a portion of a parking lot on Third Street just across from the Henry Ford Detroit Pistons Performance Center.

Crews are drilling the building foundations, removing soil, installing steel rods and filling them with concrete through October. The sidewalk on Third Street from the north end of the site to the traffic light/pedestrian walkway across from Henry Ford’s corporate offices will be closed in early- to mid-September for the duration of the project. Curb cut work on 3rd Street will follow in mid- to late-September.

Given current road construction and limited available roads to accommodate the size of trucks, we are encouraging trucks to exit M-10 at Warren and travel north via 2nd Street, then Antoinette to reach the site.
