Hospital center road to be opened
Hospital Center Boulevard in Stafford County will open to traffic at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The road connects Courthouse Road and Care Lane, and will provide the last link in a new route between U.S. 1 and Courthouse Road.
Hospital Center Boulevard was built by MediCorp Health System over the past 12 months at a cost of $5 million. MediCorp built the road in connection with its construction of Stafford Hospital Center.
The road provides a second entrance to the hospital. Turn lanes for eastbound and westbound traffic turning onto Hospital Center Boulevard were added on Courthouse Road.
MediCorp estimates 4,800 vehicles a day will use the new road.
