UPDATE: Construction notice: Lane closures along Life Saving Drive (September 2022)

September 6, 2022

Emergency Department Pick up location change (Temporary)

Families must pick up Emergency Department patients at the M1 Main Entrance on weekdays between 7 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Pick up outside of the Emergency Department is not possible due to watermain upgrades along Life Saving Drive over the coming weeks. In the event of an emergency, patients can still be dropped off at the Emergency Department. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you in advance for your patience.

Lane closures will affect different sections of Life Saving Drive from T Wing to the Emergency Department as the watermain is being upgraded over the next several weeks during business hours.

There will be a double lane closure in front of A Wing Emergency Department entrance as the watermain below is being upgraded over the next several weeks during business hours.

Sunnybrook Parking Services staff will direct non-essential traffic to go around campus as Life Saving Drive will be limited to Ambulances and Emergency Department drop offs.

Please expect delays, lane closures, sidewalk closures, and accessing Staff Parking Garage #3, and Lots 7, 10, 11, 12 via Raab Blvd
