New Main Entrance Construction Update

Fall is here, and construction on MDI Health’s new Main Entrance is entering its final phase, with an anticipated soft opening to the public in October 2026.

Over the next several weeks, crews will continue work around the entrance, including pavement and sidewalk work, landscaping, and other finishing touches. Sod and turf will also be installed as the surrounding green space takes its final shape.

At this time, we do not anticipate significant noise or other major disruptions associated with this work. If that changes, we will provide an update.

Preparing for the New Entrance

Once the Main Entrance opens, traffic will enter from Main Street and through the new entrance area. Signage and traffic controls will be in place to help patients and visitors navigate the new route. We will also continue monitoring traffic flow as everyone adjusts to the change.

We are excited to be reaching this important milestone and truly appreciate the community’s patience and understanding throughout construction.
