Hospital Road in Wheeler will be closed from Monday, October 14 to Thursday October 17 due to construction related to the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy.
The road closure will impact traffic from 7:00 am until 5:30 pm, while construction crews undertake trenching across Hospital Road so that the new Health Center can tie into the city water main for facility water, as well as for the facility’s fire sprinkler system. A new fire hydrant will also be installed on Hospital Road.
Hospital Road will be open during non-construction hours.
Working with the city of Wheeler an alternative route with signage has been identified to allow access to the existing Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy (the former Rinehart Clinic), the Nehalem Valley Care Center and residential areas above the construction site.
The alternative route will direct traffic up Hall Street in Wheeler, allowing access to areas above and adjacent to Hospital Road.
We appreciate the community’s cooperation and hope to minimize inconvenience for those who normally use Hospital Road for access in the area.
