Traffic management in place at Kingsway Hospital and Chesterfield Royal

Please be aware that there are a number of works taking place across the Kingsway Hospital and Chesterfield Royal sites, which will allow for the construction of our new adult acute inpatient units to commence. We appreciate this may cause disruption to your journey, but please do take extra care when travelling around the sites and remain aware of oncoming traffic and heavy goods vehicles.

Kingsway

• To allow for utility service works there is now a traffic management system in place, outside Tissington House and at the top entrance of the main car park. This system will be in place for approximately six weeks.
• Tarmac works to the junction by the Ashbourne Centre will take place on Saturday 3 September meaning the junction will be closed from 8am – 4pm. A diversion will be put in place with all traffic travelling along Kingsway Boulevard and turning right through the Tilia Homes site entrance. Directional signage will be in place to guide vehicles on the day (please see the attached map).
• The entrance to the main carpark has been tarmacked and is now open for entry and exit.
• The top of the exit slip road down to the A38 has been tarmacked. A crossing for safe access to the grassed area will be added within the next few weeks.
• Both barriers on site will be back in use from 5 September.
• Work has begun to widen the exit of the main car park at Kingsway Hospital and should take approximately two weeks to complete. Colleagues and visitors can use the current entrance as both an entrance and exit whilst the works take place.  Please take extra caution as this work is undertaken.

For you convenience we have included a map detailing all available parking on site. Do take extra care when travelling, either by vehicle or on foot, around the site whilst the works are taking place. We apologise for any disruption and inconvenience caused - we greatly value the continued support and patience of colleagues, patients and visitors. 

Chesterfield

• There is a natural gas well that runs underneath the site of the new build, which will need to be safely capped. Due to the safety requirements of this process, a number of parking spaces from car park 8 will be temporarily out of use. We anticipate this work will start at the end of August and should take approximately six weeks to complete.
• Car park 8 will be closed on 24 and 25 August to allow for surface repair.
• To allow for service delivery, a traffic management system has commenced. There will be a traffic lights in place between the new build site and the Hartington Unit, including a likely one-way route around the hospital estate.

Do take extra care when travelling, either by vehicle or on foot, around the site whilst the works are taking place. We apologise for any disruption and inconvenience caused - we greatly value the continued support and patience of colleagues, patients and visitors.
