Crane lift at Atrium entrance at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital – temporary road closure and access changes

2 Dec 2025, 3 p.m.

Due to anticipated high winds, the crane lift originally planned for Tuesday has been rescheduled to Thursday 11 December.

To facilitate this safely:

  • Site set-up begins at 7am on Wednesday 10 December.
  • The crane lift will take place on Thursday 11 December.
  • The atrium roadway will remain closed during this period.
  • Alternative disabled parking is available at the Tower car park and on Mayhill Way.
  • Pedestrian access to and from the Atrium will be limited and signposted during set-up.
    • Access will be prohibited during the crane lift itself for safety reasons.
  • The area is expected to reopen mid-afternoon on 11 December, subject to favourable weather conditions.

These works involve lifting sections of steelwork to enable a roof replacement. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we complete these essential improvements.
