CITYnews halifax / By Chris Halef

Patient access and parking at the QEII Halifax Infirmary’s emergency department will shift from Robie Street to Bell Road, starting this Saturday.

Nova Scotia Health said access for both people and vehicles will shift from 1799 Robie St. to 1840 Bell Rd., permanently.

“Relocating access to the emergency department is essential to facilitate the construction of the new Acute Care Tower, which will house a larger emergency department,” said Randi Monroe, executive director, health services and Central Zone redevelopment at Nova Scotia Health.

On the same day, the current temporary emergency department drop-off and parking on Robie Street will close while the main building entrance will remain the same.

Nova Scotia Health said Bell Road will be the site of a new patient drop off area and emergency department parking.

It will have accessible spaces and a complimentary curbside parking service, provided in partnership with Indigo when the parking lot reaches capacity.

“This step is crucial as we move forward with the tower project and the enhancements to our emergency services, ultimately leading to improved healthcare delivery at the QEII.”
