Road Construction!

Posted on March 2, 2023 by gururas • 0 Comments

How do you get here?

If you take I-275 to get to the clinic…

Be sure to use the Sligh Avenue exit, and then come south on N Central. 🚦Look for the light at the corner of Sligh & N Central Ave.

Starting early March 2023, North Central Avenue will be closed. Starting at Hillsborough Avenue north and continuing almost to Hannah, stopping one street south of Hannah at Paris.

There will be detours along Hannah to Nebraska Ave. and Florida Ave.

We are located at the corner of N Central Ave and Lambright — you can always drive on Lambright from Florida Ave.

This detour will last for more than a year. So now’s your time to explore our side streets and plan for a little extra traffic if you are driving to see us. Parking at the clinic won’t be affected by the road closure.

Please call us with any questions!
