I work at Ohsu, currently we're undergoing construction in the main hospital building. Just last month our new hospital lobby opened - it's beautiful! But currently they're working on the exterior of the main hospital building, renovating specific unit(s), and renovating elevators.

Here's some info on the road construction that is being done to provide this exterior work:

Campus Dr, Sam Jackson road work this wknd
Campus Drive

Saturday, April 10, 8 a.m.–1 p.m., Campus Drive between Dock 5 (hospital first-floor dock) and Kohler Pavilion

Temporary traffic controls and pedestrian facilities will be installed this Saturday on the upper portion of SW Campus Drive this Saturday in preparation for the next phase of work on the outside of OHSU Hospital. The affected part of Campus Drive will be reduced to one lane of traffic, but emergency vehicle access will be maintained; watch for flaggers and be ready for delays of up to five minutes.

Those temporary controls and facilities to be installed this Saturday will be in place for about six months. The sidewalk and bike lane on SW Campus Drive will be closed between the School of Dentistry 6th floor entrance and the Tram elevator. Instead you’ll find a temporary, protected walkway, pedestrian detour signage and concrete barricades. You’ll also see a temporary crosswalk and traffic-control signage next to Dock 16 (Kohler Pavilion dock).

Update added April 8:

Sam Jackson Park Road

Saturday–Sunday, April 10–11, 6 a.m.–4 p.m., Sam Jackson Road

The city’s Bureau of Transportation will do crosswalk and lane striping this weekend. Expect intermittent single-lane closures on SW Sam Jackson Park Road between Terwilliger and US Veterans Hospital Road. Emergency vehicle access will be maintained; watch for flaggers and be ready for delays of up to (another) five minutes. Crosswalks may be closed to pedestrian traffic. TriMet bus stops will remain open.
