Road Closure
Portions of Hospital Drive between the Ben Roach Building and UK Chander Hospital Pavilion H will close Monday, April 23, at 10 a.m. to allow for construction of improvements to our facilities. This area is expected to remain closed until late spring 2019. Access to Markey Cancer Center parking and to Chandler Hospital will remain open, but drivers are asked to allow extra time and to use caution in the area.
Patient golf cart shuttles from UK Markey Cancer Center to UK Chandler Hospital will be replaced by shuttle buses during this closure. Patients who use these shuttles can ask for assistance at any information desk.
Access to the employee drop-off area between Chandler Hospital and the Kentucky Clinic Building will also remain open, but delays are likely. Employees should allow extra time or choose an alternate drop-off location.

Construction May Impact Traffic Near Markey Cancer Center
Ongoing construction at Markey Cancer Center may affect traffic in the immediate area. Visitors may wish to arrive a few minutes early.
Construction for new linear accelerator and computed tomography vaults in Markey Cancer Center's Ben F. Roach building began April 5 and will last approximately a year.
Initial changes will include temporary roads for access to Rose Street, Hospital Drive, and Pavilions A and H. A fence will enclose construction activities and will close down a portion of Hospital Drive in front of the Roach building (Pavilion CC). Pedestrian access to Roach and Pavilion H will be modified and no access permitted inside the construction site.
Additional shuttles will be added to provide access from the Markey Cancer Center to Pavilions A and H.
